For several years we have donated dictionaries to the local school districts to be given to the third grade classes. The children are very excited about having their own dictionary and the teachers are wonderful about creating an air of excitement. We find it to be an extremely worthwhile project.

The Dictionary Project provides a wonderful opportunity for non-profits to partner with schools to improve the literacy of children. Love it. It sells itself and makes the process of getting involved with the school system easy and fun.

This is our 8th year sponsoring this project in our school district, and excitement continues to grow for this project.

This will be our Rotary Club’s first year to participate. Since Altrusa Club of Greenwood has been distributing dictionaries to third graders in Leflore County over the years, the Rotary Club of Greenwood decided to distribute thesauruses to fifth graders in Leflore County. I am very impressed with the Dictionary Project and hope that eventually every child nationwide will benefit from this program.

This is our second year for distributing these dictionaries. This is a wonderful project. The children love it and are so proud to get the dictionaries. Our Rotary Club members are happy to take part in this project.

We enjoy this project most of all. The students are so appreciative of the dictionaries. It is very gratifying for the club members to participate. We have been delivering books for many years; I have been in the club 5 and they were doing it long before my time. We love the dictionary project and think that it is a great way to help...

This is the fifth year that Kiwanis has sponsored this project. Our membership supports this endeavor completely and enjoys hearing from the children after they receive their dictionaries. The children are well aware of the project after hearing about it from older siblings and really look forward to the day that we arrive with their own dictionary.

Can’t wait to see the children’s faces when we share this wonderful learning tool! So many are excited because now they have their own, just like their brother’s or sister’s.

Our Rotary Club is very involved in assisting in the needs of our community. Every year we give dictionaries to the 3rd graders at Vineland Elementary School in Englewood, FL. Some of these children have never owned a book before & just to see the joy in their faces & the proud way they receive their dictionaries is wonderful.

This will be our third year of supporting the Dictionary Project. We love it. We get very favorable reaction from the school, the teachers, the students, and their parents.
