Project Description

Country: USA

Location: El Cajon, CA

Total Budget: $1,600

Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy

Activity Type: Education: Literacy

Summary: Nine Hundred dictionaries for third graders in Cajon Valley and Mt. Empire Title 1 Schools


The goal of the Dictionary Project is to assist all students in becoming good writers, active readers, creative thinkers, and resourceful learners by providing them with their own personal dictionary. The dictionaries are a gift to each student to use at school and at home for years to come. Educators see third grade as the dividing line between learning to read and reading to learn, so The Rotary Club of El Cajon gives dictionaries each year to children in the third grade.

The El Cajon Rotary Club will focus on third grade students in the Cajon Valley Union School District and the Mountain Empire Union School District. Cajon Valley USD has 8 Title 1 elementary schools and Mountain Empire USD has two. El Cajon Rotary purchases books for 3rd graders in all 19 of the CVUSD elementary schools and both schools in the Mountain Empire USD. We are seeking matching grant funds for the 10 Title 1 schools.

In October, 2012, Dictionaries were delivered to every third grade classroom in the Cajon Valley Union School District (8 Title I schools) and Mountain Empire School District (2 Title I schools). Approximately 18 Rotarians traveled in pairs to cover all schools and make short presentations to each third grade class. Only Title I schools were covered by this grant.
