Why third grade?

Dictionary Project

Third grade is a pivotal year when students shift from learning to read to reading to learn. A personal dictionary helps them explore new words, strengthen spelling, and discover subjects that spark imagination.

What we provide

  • • A free, personal dictionary for every third-grade student in participating classrooms
  • • A brief classroom visit from Elks volunteers to inspire lifelong learning
  • • Support for teachers and schools to schedule deliveries smoothly
Schools & teachers: If your school would like dictionaries for third graders, contact us here and we’ll coordinate a delivery.

Partner with Broken Arrow Elks

We work with public, charter, and private schools across the North Broken Arrow area. Tell us your class count and ideal dates—we’ll handle the rest.

Community impact: Your support helps us reach every third grader we can—year after year.
