Students were very excited to receive their brand new dictionaries, as evidenced by some of their comments in thank-you letters to Commerce City Rotary members, “Thank you for the amazing dictionaries. It makes my dad proud because he likes me to be smart.” Another youngster writes, “I bet we will use the dictionary a lot. Thank you! I will learn words I didn’t know.”... Read More

We have been participating for the past 5 years. We enjoy giving the dictionaries, and the students are always so excited about us coming.

2008 was our first year of this project; but we have voted to make it an annual project. It is a wonderful project and last year our Rotary Club received hand written thank you notes from every third grade student. The money raised for this project comes from a phone book that we publish for our community every other year by selling yellow page... Read More

We have found this program to really have an effect on the students’ learning. The teachers are always very thankful and the look on the students’ faces is really worth the effort. This is our 9th year of being involved in the Dictionary Project – I think that speaks for itself!

We have been distributing dictionaries to our area schools for six or seven years and it is just amazing how much the kids enjoy receiving their own dictionary. Even more fulfilling is the great feeling of possibly changing someone’s future for the better.

We have participated in The Dictionary Project for the past 6 years and each year we have purchased close to 500 dictionaries to hand out to our 2 local school districts, Webb City and Carl Junction. This year we were excited to have handed out over 3,000 in the past 6 years. Thanks for allowing us to participate in such a worthwhile program!

I think this is our third year. All four Rotary Clubs distribute the dictionaries but our club, Sierra Vista West, orders, assigns schools, distributes the dictionaries to the clubs, etc. We cover any school in Cochise County that is not covered by another club. We make labels with the “Four Way Test”, Sierra Vista Rotary Clubs as donor and a place for student name... Read More

I am the Chairman for our Dictionary Project with the Minden-Douglas Elks Lodge # 2670 here in Northern Nevada. Myself and a couple other Elks went to each elementary school and personally presented a dictionary to each 3rd grader. Oh, to see the joy and excitement in their eyes, they were so pleased to receive their own personal dictionary and to be able to... Read More

We are in a rural area and distribute books to all of the schools in 30 miles of Gila Bend. This is four or five years and the club is very pleased with the project.
