We love the dictionary project. You would think we were giving these kids a $100 gift card when we hand out the dictionaries. The teachers really appreciate them also.

This is our 7th year of participation. Each year we are able to enlarge the project. We are delighted to be a part of this worthy project. It is a great thing to take these dictionaries to a classroom and see the anticipation on the faces of the students.

This is just a fun project – the students are always excited and the teachers appreciative. We get excellent coverage in our two local papers. This is one of the best values for the money of any project we do!

Dear Roxbury Rotary, Thank you for the awesome dictionary. It is huge! I colored some of the maps in the back. I have used it 3 times. The dictionary thas words I have never heard of like aviary, which means a place where birds are kept. Thank you again for the dictionary. Sincerely, Jack
