Summary: Dictionaries distributed to all 3rd grade students in 24 schools, in Peoria, AZ, reaching just over 1,600 students.
This is a multi-club project between Peoria North Rotary, Peoria Rotary and Rotary E-club of Arizona.
The Peoria Unified School District (PUSD) administration has identified the need for, and the benefit of, dictionaries for 3rd graders. This literacy tool will in many cases be the child's only book at home.
This is a joint project between Peoria North RC, Peoria RC and the Rotary E-club of Arizona. The Rotarians will label the inside covers of the dictionaries with a 4-Way Test sticker, and club members, in teams of 2 or 3, will personally distribute the dictionaries to the students in their classrooms.
The distribution will be completed by Sept 14, 2017. Project funds will be used solely for the purchase of dictionaries, and the purchase of the 4-Way Test labels.

Ken, I don't see a receipt. As is stated many places in the District Grant Guidelines and on the Final Report, a cancelled check or copy of a check is not acceptable. Please upload a paid receipt from the organization that cashed your check.
