John Thornton, Rotary Club of Mauldin, Greenville, SC

We have been distributing dictionaries to Mauldin public school 3rd graders since 2005. It is a delight to see the excited faces of the students as we give them their dictionaries, and to be able to encourage them to use the books. This is a great project. The teachers use our dictionaries to help the students learn to use them as references, and to build literacy.
