We have been doing this for 5 years, some of the members really enjoy seeing the joy on the teachers and children’s faces; we are called the Dictionary Ladies by the children who received them last year.

This is our fourth year donating Dictionaries to every single 3rd grader in Lee County!!! The appreciation we received last year was overwhelming, and made us feel as though we chose a very worthy project. Almost every class/student wrote our club thank you notes, and it was very heartwarming to read them! The Kiwanis Club of Lee County is so thankful to the Dictionary... Read More

This is our 3rd year to supply dictionaries to all the 3rd grade students in Peoria District 150. The teachers can’t say enough about the project and the positive impact the dictionaries have on their classroom activities.

This is our maybe 11th year for the dictionary project. We started distributing thesauruses for the 5th graders last year. Great project for our club. Teachers really appreciate it. Last year when we met with 5th graders to give them a thesaurus they told us how they still use their dictionary from 3rd grade.

This is our sixth year. We love to see the children’s faces when they get their own dictionary.

We have been collecting money for the project for 4 years. We try to donate them to third graders in low socio-economic schools in our urban school district. We appreciate being able to purchase the dictionaries for such a good price, it allows us to help more students.

The notes are absolutely delightful and help us realize how much the students do use and appreciate... Read More

We have been doing this project for 5 years now, and the schools and kids are very appreciative of the dictionaries.

This year is the seventh year that South Fork Grange has given dictionaries to the third graders in Ritchie County. It is a fun day for the Grangers to spend with the children, and I think the children have fun too. It is a very worthwhile project and one that the children will remember. Keep doing the good work.
