Many of our 7th graders, along with their ELA teacher, Mrs. Karina Dey, have been given the great honor of starting a Reading Buddy program with 1st graders at OBE. Big and little buddies met each other this past Friday and bonds were instantly formed. Students read books, worked on reading skills, danced their wiggles out, and began to form relationships that will benefit us all! The middle schoolers will continue to travel over to the elementary school biweekly throughout the year. We look forward to the amazing things that will come out of this new program and partnership!
