What is the Reading Buddies Club?
The Reading Buddies Club pairs high school students with first-graders for a monthly visit filled with reading, literacy activities, and fun. During each visit, the high schoolers read aloud with their younger buddies, engaging them with stories while fostering a love for reading. They also participate in literacy games and activities that promote learning in an enjoyable way. The club emphasizes building strong relationships between the students, as they laugh, share stories, and grow together, creating a supportive environment where both the high schoolers and first-graders benefit from the connection.
How will the proceeds be used?
Proceeds from the brick sales will help fund the club's activities, including the purchase of books and supplies for literacy games and projects that enrich the learning experience for young readers. Additionally, the funds will support the establishment of a college/post-secondary scholarship fund, providing opportunities for participating high school students to continue their education. By purchasing an engraved brick, you not only leave a lasting mark on our campus but also contribute to the success and growth of this impactful program.
