Dear Principal [Principal’s Last Name],
The Dictionary Project is a non-profit organization that raises money to provide dictionaries for third grade students in order to assist their teachers in helping them become active readers, good writers, and resourceful learners. We share the belief that a dictionary is an essential tool for a quality education and that a student cannot do his or her best work without one.
Our organization has raised money to provide dictionaries for all the third grade students in [school/community]. We would like to arrange a visit to your school to make a brief presentation of the dictionaries to the students.

Letter to Parents
To: Parents of Third Grade Students
The Dictionary Project is a non-profit organization designed to aid third grade teachers in their goal to see all their students become good writers, active readers, creative thinkers, and resourceful learners. We, [organization name], working with The Dictionary Project, would like to provide the third grade students of our community with their own personal dictionaries.
The dictionaries are for the children to keep and use throughout this school year and beyond. A dictionary is perhaps the first and most powerful reference tool a child should own. Its usefulness goes beyond the spellings, pronunciations, and definitions it lists. It is a companion for solving problems as a child develops reading, writing, and creative thinking abilities.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
