ABOUT PROJECT DICTIONARY
For the past 10 years Project Dictionary has been a joint effort of the Mid-Cities Pacesetters Club and the HEB Rotary Club to distribute dictionaries to all the HEB-ISD 3rd graders, plus one BISD school (Porter) located in Hurst. In 2021 we are expanding our distribution to include 3rd graders from some or all the BISD elementary schools!
Mid-Cities Pacesetters Rotary Club
The Mid-Cities Pacesetters Rotary Club is a diverse group of folks who share a common goal of making the world a better place. We plan and manage service events, volunteer together, and donate to local charities. And we have lots of fun! Come check us out. We meet for breakfast every Friday morning at 7 at Texas Star Conference Center in Euless.
HEB Rotary Club
The Rotary Club of Hurst-Euless-Bedford was chartered on March 19, 1962, and has been serving the Mid-Cities of Dallas-Fort Worth ever since. We are part of Rotary International District 5790 which covers north central Texas.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, this project was paused in 2020 while most students did virtual learning, and overwhelmed teachers and administrators focused on delivering the best education possible.
Now that school districts have opened back up, we are committed to reaching the 4th graders who didn’t receive a dictionary last year, as well as the current third-grade classes of 2021.
The Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD was founded in 1958 when three cities kept their local governments separate but merged their school districts in order to become even more competitive and high performing. HEB ISD’s rich history of excellence is demonstrated today through International Baccalaureate, Asian languages, Spanish Immersion, Core Knowledge Pre-K, and sister schools in China and India. These international programs provide HEB ISD students a world-class education that prepares them to compete in a global economy.
