Who
is excited for school to start? Well - Volunteer Reading Buddies are
- because we have MISSED seeing the kiddos! The highlight of my week is
Wednesday mornings as I race to Gillis to spend time with the kiddos AND spend
time with a great group of volunteers who have become dear friends. We
all started with the common interest of helping a Gillis kiddo work on their
reading - and what we all experienced instead was a Gillis kiddo teaching us
some of life's most valuable lessons- like friendship, true laughter, patience
when reading is hard and courage to try. If you have not had a chance to
stop by the Reading Program on Wednesdays at 10am, we would highly
encourage you come on by! It is guaranteed to put a smile on your face
because we get to see the kiddos at their best - as their effort with the
Reading Program is simply put - AWESOME. So glad for school to start
soon!
