Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Cheyenne, WY

Total Budget: $4,000

Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy

Activity Type: Education: Literacy

Summary: Provide dictionaries to all 3rd grade students in the Laramie County/Cheyenne, WY community


The Rotary Club of Cheyenne (Noon) has long recognized the need for improving literacy in the Laramie County/Cheyenne, Wyoming area and has participated in providing dictionaries to every 3rd grader for well over a decade. In Rotary year 2016-2017, the Rotary Club of Cheyenne handed out 1,338 dictionaries. Since the beginning of the Rotary Club of Cheyenne's dictionary program the club has been able to pay for the dictionaries through funds generated by small fundraisers, however, recent price increases in the dictionaries have strained the club ability to fully fund the dictionary program. The District Grant request of $2000 will help offset about 50% of the cost of the dictionaries in Rotary year 2017-2018. The total cost of the Rotary Club of Cheyenne Dictionary program is approximately $4000.

Over 1500 dictionaries were delivered (by Rotarians) to 3rd graders across all of Cheyenne and Laramie County Wyoming. The last dictionaries were delivered by early November 2017.

Dictionaries were delivered to over 30 schools in Laramie County. Approximately 15 Rotarians delivered the dictionaries to each 3rd grade class. Before handing out the dictionaries, Rotarians were able to discuss Rotary, its mission and the 4 Way Test.
