A big congratulations to our Reading Buddy of the month Michelia Mason. She believes a more personal approach to volunteer work would be a beneficial way to get involved with the community and her dedication and willingness to help kids improve their reading skills has not gone unnoticed by us or the kids she has connected to. 

When asked why she feels it is important to read with children she says, “Reading with children and subsequently instilling in a child the confidence and comfort with reading sets the stage for success at every point in life.” It’s Reading Buddies like Michelia that give us the reputation of fostering a great experience with these students as they move forward with their reading growth. We thank you for your hard work and big heart.
