This is our 3rd year and we have taken on a few more schools and hope to expand further in the future. We think it is a great project helping children at the right time.

This is our 2nd year for providing a thesaurus to every 7th grader in this area. Our club also supports the 3rd grade dictionary project in this town. Great support to school children by your organization! I started this one year ago and plan to continue to do so as long as the donations continue.

Jane Durant-Jones, Rotary Club of Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, CA
We’ve been participating for several years – the children and the teachers seem to be especially pleased with their books and look forward to pointing out all the special features of the dictionaries.
