This will be the eighth year my husband and I have donated dictionaries to the 3rd graders of the Lucia Mar Unified School District. We give the books in memory of my parents, especially my father who was an immigrant from Italy and used his dictionary all of his life. Once again, I am honored to be a part of the Dictionary Project.

This will be our Rotary Club’s first year to participate. Since Altrusa Club of Greenwood has been distributing dictionaries to third graders in Leflore County over the years, the Rotary Club of Greenwood decided to distribute thesauruses to fifth graders in Leflore County. I am very impressed with the Dictionary Project and hope that eventually every child nationwide will benefit from this program.
