This is my first year and I’m excited to continue this project on an annual basis. I think this is a phenomenal project that will help the future of our youth. The earlier we can reach out to them the better!
Bonnie Littrell, Rotary Club of Clemson-Calhoun, Clemson, SC
I have been involved in this project for five years, and it is always a special treat to see the children’s delight upon receiving their book. Teachers are most appreciative as well. This is a great way to participate in Rotary’s literacy endeavors and help our local schools at the same time. We feel it is our way to give back to our community.

We have been participating in this project for several years with great success. Every school teacher we talked to was very supportive of this project and appreciated Rotary’s generosity in providing these books to the school children. It is a GREAT project.

Every year the 3rd graders look forward to seeing us come. They are really excited when they find out the books are theirs to keep.
Rebecca Mier, Rotary Club of Salinas Steinbeck, Salinas, CA
This is our fourth year giving to all third graders within an entire school district. We believe that the cost of the texts is very reasonable. The price allows some flexibility to other organizations that can donate within their budget. A great investment in youth.

Dear Skaneateles Rotary Club, I love the amazing, awesome, terrific Student Dictionary. I know how every child felt, when they went on stage. It probably felt like finishing college or accomplishing the biggest thing in the big wide world. I hide it so my sister won’t find it. Here’s the fact: everyone loves getting something, but a dictionary, man; your heart just explodes. Thank... Read More

Dear Skaneateles Rotary Club, Thank you so much for the terrific Student Dictionary. Whenever I’m reading and I see I word I don’t understand, I can look it up. Like at bedtime, I will always have my dictionary right next to me so it will be there when I need it. I am going to use my dictionary everywhere I go! Sincerely, Morgan
