Summary: Dictionaries to Third graders in Gilbert and Some Mesa Public Schools
Dictionaries may be used by students during merit testing, but schools cannot afford to provide them. Teachers use the extensive glossaries to teach geography, current events, astronomy, sign language and mathematics. Club members sticker each dictionary with a Rotary sticker and a Four-Way Test sticker, deliver the boxes to the schools and, when allowed, make a short presentation about Rotary, education and the importance of learning new words, their meanings, pronunciation and correct spelling. The program has been well-received by over thirty schools for nearly 20 years. The physical book is not dead and we can prove it.

Congratulations! This project has been approved for full funding. We are not certain when the money will hit your account, but our best guess is a month or so. The district has approved the project now Rotary International will review and approve. We’ll send you an update when we have one. Please also remember that you may not spend money prior to TRF approval and reimburse yourself from grant funds. If there have been changes in your bank account (information for electronic transfer), please get that to Lucinda General (District Treasurer) as soon as possible. treasurer@rotary5495.org. Your report is due April 30, 2025, and receipts are required to complete the report (not invoices, cancelled checks, UPS shipping labels, or any other documents). Thank you for creating hope in the world.
