💚💛 Reading Buddies Fun! 💛💚

Our 1st graders invited their 5th grade Reading Buddies for a friendly game of UNO today, and the smiles said it all! 🎉🃏

We are so lucky to have such wonderful 5th grade role models—our younger Bobcats truly look up to them. Watching them learn, play, and build positive connections is one of the sweetest parts of our school community. 💚🐾

Thank you, 5th graders, for leading with kindness and setting a great example! #BobcatPride #ReadingBuddies #RoleModels
