I have been doing this project for a few years on behalf of Rotary International, Charleston Club. I love to see the student’s reactions when they see their names in the dictionaries; it is a special time for me and the students. Love the books and the great selections.

This is the 4th year for Baker County and the 3rd for Lake Butler…. best local project we do!!!

The Kiwanis of Riverview have been doing The Dictionary Project for about 5 years. The Kiwanis will visit the 3rd grade class of each school and make a small, quick presentation.

Our Rotary Club members visit each 3rd grade classroom and talk about the value of literacy and communication and some background on Rotary International and our local club. This is our 5th year with the project and our first students are now in high school. The reception from both students and teachers is always so positive.

Our club is proud to contribute to the educational resources of our third grade class. This is our first year of participation and we are lucky to receive assistance from the Grand Forks Noon Rotary Club. That club has participated in the project for a number of years. What a terrific program. We plan to participate for years to come.

This year was my first year in Rotary and my first year delivering dictionaries. It was a joy and the kids were very excited. This dictionary is an amazing resource book and I pointed out all the great information. The kids loved the section on all the Presidents.

We got a lot of good comments. It’s been very accepted by the school superintendents, teachers, principals…everybody loves it! It’s the age where they want their own books. We acknowledge the fact that not all students have their own computers at home and do not have their own dictionaries. They love getting their own dictionary!

We are just continuing with the same schools, two schools in our community. The children are very excited when they receive these dictionaries and they look forward to it. We want to thank you for doing this project, it is a wonderful project!

This is the second year we have provided Thesaurus to the 5th and 6th graders in the Burnsville School District. The program is a success for both the Rotary Club and the School District. The students created thank you cards for our Club, and the books are appreciated by the teachers.
