We’re steadily marching towards Dictionary Day 2026 for our kids and schools. In fact, we already have some dates. It will be Dictionary Day on
- Friday, November 13 at Harmony Elementary School in Harmony

- Thursday, November 19 at Brownville Elementary School in Brownville
- Tuesday, November 24 at SeDoMoCha Elementary School in Dover-Foxcroft.

We’re ready to recruit our Valley Grange Teams to assist. You don’t have to be a member to help! Team members help unload, bring items inside, and carry things back out! During the presentation, you’ll be introduced and help when it’s time to hand out individual dictionaries. If you’re comfortable, it can be a lot of fun helping individual kids look up words. If you’re interested, email Walter or call him at (207) 343-1842.
