Book Buddies
Book Buddies at Drew
We are so excited to have our Book Buddies program back in session for the 2024-2025 school year! Our KDG classes enjoyed book buddies from our high school. This is a collaborative program between Mrs. Ricks, our JA/SA Media Specialist and Ms. Cannon! We pair our high school students with our Kindergarten students and upcoming our First Grade students. Many of our Book Buddies are former EA Students so it is a treat for them to visit their former teachers and give the gift of reading to our EA students. We are so proud of this program!
