Testimonials

"We have been participating in this program for five years. This is probably one of the premiere programs developed for young students."

"Keep up the good work, you're touching more lives than you can imagine!"

"I have not participated in this program before. I wish to donate books to the classroom where my granddaughter will be a fourth-grade student next year. I think the Dictionary Project is amazing. These books are so necessary to children, and nowhere else can I find a way to get them to children so inexpensively."

"We've been doing this for five years. Great project; the students love it."

"This will be a first time project for this club. This is a wonderful project being offered to help many students at a very reasonable cost. Thanks to a former leader for introducing us to this project."

"We love having the Dictionary Project as a contribution by our PTO. The dictionaries are a worthwhile, economical and educational investment, and the children love getting their own copy."

"We have distributed dictionaries to the Tempe Elementary students since 2005 and will continue to do it every year. It's great for our club members, great for the teachers, and most of all great for the kids."

"This is our 11th year donating to the third graders at Richard Mann Elementary School. Project is easy to order, quick to deliver, a good value, and a highly anticipated project at our school."

"We have been delivering dictionaries and atlases to the 4th graders and special education students in the Aberdeen School District for three years. We love this project and the opportunity it gives our club to interact with the students and leave them a lasting and beneficial gift."

"This is our first year, but our second dictionary distribution! We have decided to extend our 2011-2012 distribution project to the 4th and 5th graders in our district, and hope to include thesauruses for all 5th graders in the near future. Your organization is wonderful! Thank you for the opportunity to share the gift of knowledge with so many children!"

"As one of the newer schools in the Aspire Public Schools System, it is important for us to provide each student with the right tools to learn and be successful. Dictionaries and other reference books are an essential part of building strong readers. Last year teachers had to use pictures of dictionaries and thesauruses to explain to students the role of each book and how it would be used. This year we are excited to to give each student their own dictionary and continue building a strong foundation for learning. Thank you Dictionary Project for helping us develop strong readers and successful learners!"

"I heard about this program from PDG Robert Pityo at an international Rotary Convention in Texas in 2003. I was so excited about it I returned home and went to all the Rotary Clubs in my county, and we all began the program at the same time and have continued it ever since. I think this project is wonderful and I hope it continues for a long time."

"The West Hartford Rotary Club loves doing the dictionary project. It is amazing to see how excited 3rd graders get over receiving their own dictionary. Kids will come up to the Rotary Booth at various charitable endeavors and say, "Hey you are the guys who gave me a dictionary." We will continue to fund and execute this project as long as your organization exists. Thanks for all you do."

"This on one of our favorite projects in Rotary! Anyone who has helped with the distribution will always be first to volunteer when Dictionary Day comes around again. They love to see the excitement in the children's faces as they receive their very own dictionary!"

"This will be the second year our Lions Club has provided dictionaries. We absolutely love it, the kids love it, and the teachers think it is fantastic!!!"
