Dear Ms. Mary French, Thank you so much for all of your work to get the third grade students of South Carolina their own dictionary. I always love to see their smiles when I tell them about what you do so that they can have one of their very own. Most of our students would never have one at all to keep at home... Read More

The third graders at Sedgefield are extremely grateful for the generous gift from your Kiwanis Club. You would have been so pleased to have seen the smiles when each student was given a dictionary and told that it was theirs to keep and even take home at the end of the year. Many carried them around for several days and looked up any word... Read More

All of the students have received their dictionaries. I don’t think any could possibly be enjoying them more than my own kids, who have developed a game where they read a definition to each other and the others must then guess the word. Their friends are also playing the game! Many…MANY…students have excitedly told me about their explorations within the pages and how “awesome”... Read More

Dear Elks & Members of the Dictionary Project Committee, I want to thank you so much for your wonderful Dictionary Project! The dictionaries are a very valuable and worthwhile book which does everything you hope it will do for the children. It does help them to be good writers, active readers, and creative thinkers! Be assured that there is much enthusiasm and excitement when... Read More

Dear Lion Nancy Rathe, Chairperson, We want to thank you so very much for your generosity in supplying our 3rd graders with your wonderful, informative and very lovely dictionaries. My students absolutely love them, and we use them daily for all lessons. Your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated! We all thank you again! You are very kind! Sincerely, Sandy Marzec  

I’m a 3rd grade teacher in Burnet, Texas. The Republican Women’s Group brought our 3rd graders dictionaries several months ago. I have to tell you how wonderful they are. I have a class set of some 12-year-old dictionaries, but yours are so much better! The information is incredible and the kids absolutely love them. I make up a project for us to do each... Read More

Thank you so much for the dictionaries for the students in my classroom. I teach 3rd grade at Berrendo Elementary in Roswell, NM. We have received the dictionaries for students for several years. The students are thrilled to have their very own dictionary. They love to "read" it. I have had several past students tell me they still have their dictionary from 3rd grade.... Read More

Dear Elks Lodge members, Thank you so much for taking the time to provide all of my third grade students at Gale Elementary School with new dictionaries. It is a great relief to have such a great resource provided free of cost for my students. The students take ownership and pride in the idea of owning their own book. Many of the students are...

The project really sets kids on fire. Before, we had a few dictionaries students could share, but they were old and worn out. Having their own dictionaries empowers them to look up new words on their own, rather than wait for me or just skip it.

  Dear Members of the Lions Club, I want to take this moment to thank you for coming to my classroom. We really enjoyed your information about your service to our community. Thank you for funding the dictionary project. We will certainly use ours on a regular basis. God bless your efforts. Sincerely, Mrs. Anderson
