We have received feedback from students and family members that collaborate the fact that dictionaries made a difference in the scholastic achievements of many students. 4. How many Rotarians participated in the project? over 25 Anchorage South Rotary members as well as members from the Gatewood Rotary club, International Rotary Club, Girdwood Rotary club as well as the Elks club. 5. What did they do? Please give at least two examples, not including financial support provided to the project. Each 3rd grade class is visited by one or more rotary members. There was a total of 74 schools engaged in this project. The visiting Rotarian would briefly provide an overview of what Rotary is and what kind of service projects we get involved in. They all review the 4-way test sticker that is provided as part of the project and assist them in placing the sticker on the inside of the cover page. They also have each student sign (print) their name on the space provided on the first page. A little instruction is provided on how to use a dictionary and how the dictionary can be used to find important facts other than simply looking up the spelling or meaning of a word. An example would be to look up the presidents of the United States in chronological order. 6. If a cooperating organization was involved, what was its role? The Elks club in Eagle River AK were involved in distributing dictionaries to nine schools in the Eagle River area.
