HANNIBAL – Students from Hannibal High School will now be partnering with second and third grade students at Fairley Elementary for an exciting new “reading buddies” program each month.
On Thursday, Dec. 15, students from Hannibal High School’s Students Against Destructive Decisions Club met for the first time with their new reading buddies at Fairley Elementary.
High School volunteers read stories to the younger students, shared a snack and even made simple crafts with festive themes. The new program is in collaboration with the second and third grade teams at Fairley lead by Lydia Scholton.
SADD Club advisor Roseann Inzalco explained the benefits of the new opportunity. “The goal is for SADD members to participate in a positive and impactful activity with a younger student in their community,” she said, noting that younger students may be encouraged to read and make positive decisions because of the interaction.
The program plans to meet monthly through the rest of the year.
