The children and the school system appreciate the dictionaries so much! Our club does several fundraisers each year which help support this project.

I have been participating for five years now. I heard about this program from another lodge in our state and then I introduced it to our lodge and have been running with it ever since.

The Rotary Club of Rankin County feels that the Dictionary Project is one of the best service projects that we do each year. We have been participating for the past 3 years and always look forward to this community involvement with our children.

This is our 2nd year with the project. With the assistance of an Americorps/Washington Reading Corps volunteer the program was sponsored by our local Deer Park Rotary last year. This year the same Americorps/Washington Reading Corps volunteer arranged for the program to be sponsored by a local business owner and his wife. After this year the Loon Lake PTO, here at the school, will... Read More

We have been happy with the response from the kids, teachers and parents for this project.

This is the second year that the Hesperia Elks Lodge has participated in this wonderful program. With all the budget cuts in the State of California these dictionaries are very much appreciated.

This will be our second year. The result was quite obvious. Very happy children, teachers and principal. Four of our Lions Club members participated. To see personally first hand what a dictionary means to a child is priceless.

This is our 3rd year and are excited to be able to provide our 3rd graders with these dictionaries. We personally deliver them to students in their classrooms. To see the expressions, and hear the comments from both teachers and students is very gratifying. Great Program…our students LOVE this dictionary and all the other information it includes.

We think the dictionary program is a wonderful program and we are happy to be a part of it.

As mentioned, we serve a portion of our total School District. We attempt to work cooperatively with other organizations in covering the total district. A well received and fun project! We love it and so do the schools, parents, and children!
