The members of Conway Morning Rotary are proud to encourage local students in the pursuit of their educational goals. As residents of the “City of Colleges”, we are keenly aware of the need for a solid foundation in the fundamentals of education, especially reading.

The Dictionary Project is an excellent way for our Rotary Club to stay in touch with the students and the school district. The third graders are so bright and delighted to learn. Our visit is a special event for the children. Two Rotarians attend each classroom so we make sure all students participate in understanding how to look up words and use their books.

On referal from a Rotarian (my dad), our Kiwanis Club has adopted this annual distribution as part of Kiwanis “Read Around the World” project. This is our 4th year. This is one of the most popular service projects we have and it is so simple and fun! The third grade students are like sponges!

This is a great project that involves many members of our Rotary Club. Members love to participate in the distribution and see the happy faces of children who sometimes are receiving their very own book for the first time.

We feel this is a meaningful way to teach and encourage students about a powerful tool... Read More

The Carl Hill Galloway Pioneer Club has participated annually in the Dictionary Project over several years. We look forward to the opportunity to provide local students with the means to educate themselves, through owning and using their own dictionaries.

Our Rotary Club has presented dictionaries to children for several years. We do it as an educational outreach for our community. The dictionary project is a wonderful idea and much needed.
