Since 2005, the Glenwood Rotary Club has delivered 2,328 dictionaries to Mills County third graders as a gift for each to use either at school or at home for years to come. Recently 211 students at West, East Mills, and Fremont-Mills Elementary schools received a new dictionary from the Club.
Educators see third grade as the dividing line between learning to read and reading to learn. The Dictionary Project is the largest literacy project in Rotary. Its goal is to assist students in becoming good writers, active readers, creative thinkers, and resourceful learners by providing them with their own personal dictionary. Since 1995, over 7,000 Rotary clubs have donated more than 14 million dictionaries to students in the United States and around the world.
