The full-day kindergarten class at St. David Catholic School recently partnered with the Grade 12 Leadership Class at Marymount Academy to begin a new reading initiative to support reading achievement for FDK students.
The classes first met at the MacKenzie Street library, but now they visit each other's classrooms twice a month to read together.
“I super duper love to read with my buddy; it's fun, and we get to have name tags that are the same,” said Lexus Dumas, a kindergarten student.
The initiative continues until June, when the classes will get together for a reading party to celebrate their partnership and reading success.
