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

This is our second year. This is probably the most fun we’ve had during any project that we have. The kids are all excited, and the teachers are happy to work assignments around different parts of the dictionary. We plan to continue this program for years to come.

We send the dictionaries over to the Senior High school, and the special ed students insert the labels. They then feel that they are contributing to the project.

In our distribution of dictionaries, we always hear how proud the students are to have their own dictionary. The teachers are very complimentary of your work and the contents.

The most fun is getting to deliver the dictionaries and thesauruses to the students at the schools and see their excitement. For many, it is their very first book to own.
