We have ordered dictionaries for many, many years for our local 3rd graders. It’s so rewarding to deliver these and see the joy it bring to each student. We prepare labels saying they are coming from the Kiwanis Club, and we put each child’s name on the dictionary.

The Nephi Kiwanis Club has been providing dictionaries to the 3rd grade students in Juab School District for many years.. We love the dictionary project. It is an easy way for our club to do something amazing!.

We have been donating dictionaries for about 8 years to the third graders in two area school districts. As the Librarian at one of the serviced schools, I am very appreciative of the Rotary club’s efforts to support our students.

Last year we presented our 1,000th dictionary! We’ve also added a new feature by having select sixth graders attend the presentation with their well-worn dictionaries to explain how they use them to the third graders! This continues to be our most popular project with the community… and it drives many of our other school programs that include reading with second and third graders (bookworming),... Read More
