Shoals Elks Lodge #2860 will be celebrating its fourth year in The Dictionary Project. The students all love receiving their very own dictionary, and teachers find it a valuable learning tool. The Elks are always met with open arms when they visit the local schools with the dictionaries.

The principals were key in welcoming us, leading us to each classroom, and the teachers and students so responsive.

This is our 5th year to supply dictionaries to EVERY 3rd grade student in District 150 (approximately 1,250). The teachers can’t say enough about the project and the positive impact the dictionaries have on their classroom activities! The smiles from the children say it all!

The RWLC has participated in the dictionary project for several years now. The third graders and their teachers in Leelanau County are very excited when our ladies deliver the dictionaries to the classrooms. It is even more exciting when I hear from a teenager that they still have and use their dictionary. Sometimes cracking the book open is just as fast as the Web.

We have distributed dictionaries for several years and the teachers say that the children really look forward to getting their own dictionary.

We have donated for five years. The Dictionary Project is fantastic. The students really like getting their own dictionary.

I think this our 6th years of participation. This will be the first year we are in cluding a private school.. Great Project! Its a shame but this will be the only book in the home of some of these children..

We will be giving dictionaries to the third graders at Cook School again this year, along with their teachers. They are very gratefully received. The children are delighted to have a book of their very own, with their name in it. The teachers tell us they use the dictionaries and are very pleased for this opportunity. We are a small club (13 members) of... Read More

The Lion members are so excited to help in passing out the dictionaries, I almost need a lottery system to pick those who distribute them. They really enjoy passing out the dictionaries and seeing the smiles on the... Read More
