Members of the Kingwood Area Republican Women (KARW) and the Rotary Club of Humble Intercontinental donated 4,608 dictionaries to third-graders in the Humble Intercontinental School District.

The donation is intended to increase literacy in the local school district.

“Literacy is a very important part of the Republican mission,” said Nancy Fulton of the KARW in a recent press release.

Students will learn how to use the dictionaries, apply it homework assignments, and will be able to keep them for personal use at the end of the year.

The partnership began in 2003, during which time the groups donated 504 dictionaries to four elementary schools.
