We have participated in the dictionary project for the last 7 years. Now every 3rd grader has a dictionary. Before this project the schools were limited to 1 to 3 dictionaries per classroom. The dictionaries are a valuable information tool which holds the attention of 3rd graders.
Cynthia Poret, Rotary Club of Bunkie, Bunkie, LA
We started this project about 5 years ago, and the schools are delighted, as are the teachers and parents. A wonderful project. As we return to the schools each year, the teachers tell us that the children continue to use their dictionaries as their grade levels advance – they do not “outgrow” them.

Every year when school starts many families in the low income class with small children do not have enough funds to pay for lunch.

The students love the books! The third graders are thrilled to be able to write their names in them, knowing that they are theirs!

We’ve been participating for at least eight years. As a result of the success we are now very involved with our local district’s kids. We love this simple elegance of it.
