Waunakee 3rd Graders Receive Free Dictionaries from Local Volunteers

Part of AT&T Pioneers’ 10th Annual ‘Dictionaries for Success’ Project Aimed at Helping Improve Childhood Literacy, Reading Scores

WAUNAKEE, Wednesday, October 7, 2015 — Nearly 65 third graders from Heritage Elementary School in Waunakee received their own personal dictionaries from the AT&T Wisconsin Pioneers today as part of a statewide project designed to improve childhood literacy and student reading scores. “Today’s event was a great opportunity for third graders to receive their own dictionary, a wonderful educational tool they will use throughout their academic careers,” said Dan Carter, principal of Heritage Elementary. “Partnerships with volunteers like the AT&T Pioneers really make a positive impact on education and a positive difference for children.” During the event, local AT&T Pioneers showed the students what information they can find in the dictionary. They also demonstrated how the books can be used to learn vocabulary development, word pronunciation, the different meanings of words, and how to compare and contrast words. “At AT&T, we are committed to helping advance the education of our young people,” said Scott T. VanderSanden, president of AT&T Wisconsin. “We are proud to partner with local educators to provide our students with the tools they need to become our future leaders.” The AT&T Wisconsin Pioneers are donating 6,500 dictionaries to students at 130 schools statewide as part of its 10th annual “Dictionaries for Success” program. The Pioneers are a local organization of AT&T employees and retirees who are dedicated to volunteering their time to various community causes.
