We have been participating for several years now, and the children and teachers look forward to the new dictionaries every year. You guys are doing a wonderful job!

Chet Wilkinson, Chino Valley Elks Lodge # 2842, Prescott, AZ

This is the sixth year we have participated. It is a great project to help students in reading and writing.
Tim Quinn, Rotary Club of Sierra Vista, Sierra Vista, AZ
This is our 2nd year for providing a thesaurus to every 7th grader in this area. Our club also supports the 3rd grade dictionary project in this town. Great support to school children by your organization! I started this one year ago and plan to continue to do so as long as the donations continue.
Nancy Olechnowicz, Rotary Club of Delhi, Delhi, NY
Our Rotary Club has participated in the Dictionary Project for the past few years. It is well-received in our school. We think this is a wonderful project. I am a second grade teacher and I tell my class about the dictionary they will be receiving in third grade!
Renee Taylor, Rotary Club of North Clackamas Sunrise, Clackamas, OR
This will be our second year and look forward to the connection with the schools that this project allows. The teachers were thrilled to have a full set of dictionaries to use.
