We’ve been participating for 4 or 5 years now. We don’t have any real special presentations other than we hand out the books to each student and take some pictures.. We think the Dictionary Project is AWESOME! Many of these students wouldn’t get dictionaries because they are costly and many organizations wouldn’t be able to provide dictionaries because of the cost. This is just... Read More

I think we’ve given these dictionaries for two years–this will be the third. We learned about it from another Lions Club and have been recommending it for sevral years.. We really like this project. It is exactly the kind of thing that Lions do and it easy to accomplish..

For the eighth year, it is our privilege to be able to present a brand new dictionary to each sixth grade student. Seeing the smile of appreciation and excitement on their faces is heart-warming. This dictionary is very important to the students as the writing curriculum becomes more demanding. With budget cuts in the schools, our district is no longer able to provide classroom... Read More

We learned about the project from a Rotary club member, and have been sponsoring Reynolds School District for three years.. We love the project and it is very well received in the school. It makes our club look good to the public and school administrators. It makes our club members feel good about being a part of the project..

We have been donating for several year. Our past Grange Master Henry Eiden wanted this project supported after his passing. It was his favorite project to support.

These books are going to students in Hutterite Colony schools,children who speak German in their community and learn English as a second language at school. They received some of these dictionaries last year and have used them and appreciated them. This set will provide a copy... Read More

My local Rotary club helps provide dictionaries to 3rd graders through this project. It gave me the idea to do a project of my own to help bring foreign language back to our junior high!. This is great. Thank you!.
Chet Wilkinson, Chino Valley Elks Lodge # 2842, Prescott, AZ
We have been participating for 7 or 8 years and the project is well received by the schools and children. We think it is a great opportunity for our members to connect with the schools.
Patricia Hollarn, Rotary Club of Crestview FL, Crestview, FL
We have been doing this project for over five years and the 3rd grade teachers count on it, as well as the children loving the fact they can keep the books for themselves. Each school brings all 3rd graders to an assembly and we have a fun program that lasts about 15 minutes. We stand at the door and each child always thanks us... Read More
