Summary: Provide Rotary dictionaries to 3rd graders in select Twin Falls County elementary schools.
The club will purchase dictionaries for 3rd graders. Our club distributes to 5 schools; Kimberly, Filer, Hansen, Murtaugh, and Three Creek. 384 students.
The request will cover the cost of the dictionaries $4, labels $0.71 and bookmarks $0.26. The labels are Rotary Wheel stickers and bookplates explaining what Rotary is and the 4-Way test.
Club members assemble the labels to the dictionaries. Several members are each assigned to a school to physically participate in the distribution inside the classrooms. A small presentation is made to the children about Rotary, the Four-Way test, and they point out some highlights of the dictionary. The project is expected to be complete by Fall of 2025.

There was an error in the recent notification that the District's block grant has been approved by The Rotary Foundation. The date should have been July 15, 2025. When reporting your grant upon project completion, your receipts will need to show expenses incurred after that date. Thank you for participating in TRF grants!
