EVERY STORY IS A TREASURE - DISCOVER IT TOGETHER







As we continue to celebrate Read Across American Week.
Big readers helping little readers! 📚
Today our 4th and 5th graders partnered with Kindergarten and 1st grade students for some special reading time. When older students read with younger learners, it does more than build literacy skills—it builds confidence, strengthens relationships, and creates positive reading role models. Research shows that peer reading can improve reading fluency and comprehension for younger students while helping older students strengthen leadership and communication skills.
Watch the video to see how our students learn together and grow together. ❤️📖
