Summary: Distribute dictionaries to local 3rd graders to promote literacy and Southlake Rotary Club in our community
This is the 4th year we will do a dictionary project. We generally target late Sept. or early Oct. for our distribution date. We include all Southlake Carroll ISD elementary schools and 3rd graders, as well as a couple neighboring Grapevine ISD elementary schools. Approximately 3/4 of our club participates in the dictionary distribution process. We coordinate with the school district and set up two dates for all schools to distribute dictionaries. The project funds are used to acquire the dictionaries and purchase Rotary stickers with the 4 way test we place inside the front cover of all the dictionaries. In years past, we have distributed between 1,000-1,200 dictionaries to the 3rd graders of the community.
