Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Arlington, TX

Total Budget: $3,000

Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy

Activity Type: Education: Literacy

Summary: Distribute Dictionaries, Thesauruses and Combination books to 3rd grade(6 schools), 7th grade(2 schools) and Freshman(1school) Students.


The Grant Budget($1500) will be used to supplement the Club's budget ($1500) to provide Dictionaries (600 to 6 Elementary schools - 3rd Grade) and Thesauruses (600 to 2 Jr High Schools - 7th Grade)and Combination (Thesaurus/dictionary) to Freshman at new Collegiate High School.. This is a continuing project for our club and this is the 2nd year for the distribution of the Combination books. The elementary schools feed into the Jr Highs which feed Seguin High School which our club sponsors with scholarships each year. The Dictionaries / Thesauruses are used by the students to help them develop their communication skills(3rd Grade - Spelling and Word Literacy and 7th Grade - Creative Writing. The combination book is used by the High School Freshman as a quick reference for both English and Creative Writing classes. We realize this project needs to be reviewed for relevance which is part of the project plan. The teachers will be surveyed to see if there is something else we could do in within the same budgetary constraints that would benefit the students. Final note our club participation is almost 100% each year without fail.
