We learned about the project from a Rotary club member, and have been sponsoring Reynolds School District for three years.. We love the project and it is very well received in the school. It makes our club look good to the public and school administrators. It makes our club members feel good about being a part of the project..

We have been donating for several year. Our past Grange Master Henry Eiden wanted this project supported after his passing. It was his favorite project to support.

The books will be delivered to the children as part of their back to school orientation in September. These books are going to students in Hutterite Colony schools,children who speak German in their community and learn English as a second language at school.

My local Rotary club helps provide dictionaries to 3rd graders through this project. It gave me the idea to do a project of my own to help bring foreign language back to our junior high!. This is great. Thank you!.

We have been participating for 7 or 8 years and the project is well received by the schools and children. We think it is a great opportunity for our members to connect with the schools.
Patricia Hollarn, Rotary Club of Crestview FL, Crestview, FL
We have been doing this project for over five years and the 3rd grade teachers count on it, as well as the children loving the fact they can keep the books for themselves. Each school brings all 3rd graders to an assembly and we have a fun program that lasts about 15 minutes. We stand at the door and each child always thanks us... Read More

We present the dictionary containing the Constitution and Declaration of Independence to the 3rd Graders in Tupper Lake. We present foreign language dictionaries to 7th graders in Saranac Lake–we feel learning about other cultures leads to better interactions worldwide and therefore learning a foreign language is quite patriotic..

This will be our first year to give to the entire 3rd grade in the entire districts listed.. Everyone that is involved distributing these dictionaries loves it. The excitement of delivering and seeing the children’s faces light up makes you want to do the project again..
Cynthia Arms, Optimist Club of Appleton City, Appleton City, MO
I think this project is invaluable. I have heard some people say that all is accessible on the internet, but that is not true. Thank you for this project!.
Laura Landis, New London Grange # 2401, Nova, OH
We have given the third graders dictionaries for several years now and the teachers look forward to our donation. They teach a unit on dictionary use, and it works very well for students to each have their own book.. The students love getting their own books. They are very excited that they get to keep them and use them..
