Our sweet students with dyslexia had an amazing time today reading to our younger students.
This was a huge fear for many of them. With a little encouragement from their teachers, they conquered this fear and did it.
This has been a really proud moment for me as a principal. Watching teachers encourage and believe and watching their students, our bulldogs, dig in and do big things.
Dyslexia has no chance with these kiddos!
Their teachers had cookies made for them to celebrate this special day!
