I have been participating for four years and as the Chairperson for the last three have doubled the number of schools to which we give books. It is a gratifying event, the children are very responsive and send us wonderful thank you letters. This is a wonderful and exciting project that should be available in every school in the nation.

As Literary Chair for my Rotary Club, I LOVE using The Dictionary Project. It allows us to reach the maximum amount of children in our school district for a very reasonable cost..

This will be our second year to distribute dictionaries to 3rd graders in the Wilkes County Schools. We plan to continue this program on an annual basis.. The Dictionary Project is a great way to enhance the educational experience of students in our school system and is supported by classroom teachers as well as school administrators..

This will be our 9th year for the “Words for Thirds” project. It is such a plesure to see how excited the students are to receive a book of their own. Teachers are very grateful as well. Our members who help distribute the dictionaries really enjoy the time spent with the children. It always makes us feel good..

We have been participated for many years. We think this program is an awesome way to help our schools! Feedback we receive is that the 3rd graders continue to use their dictionaries as they continue up the education ladder..

This will be our first time to participate in The Dictionary Project. It has re-energized our club to say the least! All members are excited to be a part of a great project that directly and positively affects the children in our community.. It is wonderful! We are excited to work with you this year, and hope that our relationship will continue to grow... Read More

I have been chair of the dictionary program for 3 years and really enjoy going into the schools and meeting the kids. I think the dictionary program is wonderful because of the look on the children’s faces when they learn that they will be receiving their very own dictionaries,.

We have been distributing Dictionaries for about 11 years and Thesaurus for about 6. We love the project.. It is by far the best PR project we have and very popular in the community..

Our Lodge is fully committed to supporting and continuing involvement with The Dictionary Project, and we have received hundreds of complimentary remarks from school officials, teachers, students and their parents.
