Third graders get free dictionaries

The teachers and the students were so appreciative when we delivered the dictionaries. Perhaps their students will someday become active Kiwanians (with excellent vocabularies).

This was a combined service project between two Kiwanis clubs in our city, and copies of "The Best Dictionary for Students" were purchased through www.dictionaryproject.org.

This has become an annual event which the third grade teachers and school administrators now look forward to.

Forest City, NC Kiwanis Club has been giving out Dictionaries to third graders for the last two years

I am about to be president and this is one project that i wantto do.  I think it will get the whole club involved.

Uptown Riverside Kiwanis(California) has also had this program in place for a number of years.  It is relatively inexpensive ($1/student) and has a major impact.  For many of our students, this is the first book they have "owned"
