We think that this is a wonderful project that shows how by giving to others you can be proud of what you have accomplished. We plan to continue to support this project for years to come.

The Wynne Rotary Club has participated in the dictionary project for 6 or 7 years. This project allows for community leaders and business owners who are Rotarians to enter the schools to connect with the students. This project also builds the community’s awareness about the local Rotary Club. I think this project serves a great purpose. I’m glad that it exists!

This is the 5th year that the Marysville Elks Lodge has given dictionaries to the third graders in our county. Each year the program has grown, and we are proud to announce that this year we will finally cover ALL schools in our county.

My daughter received a dictionary and was so happy. She already had a children’s dictionary but she said she feels ‘smarter’ now that she has a grown-up dictionary filled with thousands of words she can look up. I know her vocabulary will benefit greatly from this gift. Thank You Norwich Rotary and The Dictionary Project! Comment on online article: 3rd-graders receive dictionaries from Norwich... Read More

Out of all that the Rotary Club does, I feel that this service project is the most beneficial for our Scotland County children. So many benefit from this simple act of giving. We as Rotarians benefit even more when we see the voices and smiles of gratitude from these third-grade students. Our children are remarkable; nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart.

We have been delivering dictionaries to our county’s 3rd-grade class for the past ten years. We think it is a wonderful program and love to see how excited the children are when they receive them. Some children comment on how the dictionary is the only book they will have at home.

The Liberty Rotary Club has participated in this program annually since 2002. Over 1,700 dictionaries have been donated to the third-grade students. This year, the Club expanded the project to include providing the dictionary/thesaurus to the seventh-grade class as well as the English/Spanish dictionary to the ESL class in the middle school. Great project, and so grateful to have this organization to be able... Read More

This is a yearly project of the Midland Morning and Noon Rotary Clubs! This project greatly emphasizes our focus on improving the welfare of our children in Midland.

The program is so easy. We certainly get back far more than what it costs to pay for the dictionaries. The benefits the dictionaries offer also far outweigh the cost. We always receive a positive response from the school teachers whose classes receive the dictionaries. Other leaders in the community are impressed with this promotion of literacy.

Last year we distributed Atlases for the first time. We had some very positive feedback from the students and teachers explaining how they were able to use the Atlases. This is a great project and affordable to all.
