hello

November 8, 2007 - Members of Beta Epsilon are at it again. They recently gave out free dictionaries to every fourth grade student at Union County Elementary School . Beta Epsilon President Debra Collins and Vice President Eva Decker visited classrooms to personally hand out the books. Assistant Principle Angie Burns and United Community Bank Representative Sharon Arnold were on hand to show support for the dedicated ladies of the Beta Epsilon Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Society.

Almost seven million children have received a dictionary due to The Dictionary Project. The Dictionary Project is a nonprofit organization with a goal of assisting all students to complete the school year as good writers, active readers, and creative thinkers. The dictionaries are a gift to each student to use at school and at home for years to come.

Delta Kappa Gamma Society International is a professional honor society of women educators. Established in 1929, the society recognizes achievements of women educators, offers opportunities to enhance leadership development, and funds diverse learning opportunities.

The Beta Epsilon Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma partners with United Community Bank to participate in the Dictionary Project. The children receive immediate and long term results. They get to keep the dictionary, use it at school, and take it home. The dictionaries not only help with spelling and writing, but help build a better vocabulary. Dictionaries are an essential tool for a quality education.
