5-year participant, always welcome at all the rural schools we service. Meeting kids out of context, i.e., at the supermarket or in a store, and having them run up and say “You’re the guys that gave us the dictionaries!” makes the whole program worth it.

John Arthur, Kiwanis Club of Roland, Roland, IA
This is our 5th year giving out dictionaries to our 3rd graders in the Roland-Story School district. We put their names in the book to make it feel more personable. For many this is their first book that they can call their own. Our clubs are for giving the leaders of tomorrow the tools they need for success in their life journey.

This is our 4th year to provide dictionaries to all 3rd graders at Banks County Elementary. Very good project. Children are always excited to receive the dictionaries.
