With the start of the New Year, Mrs. Bauza's third graders at Grandview began Senior Reading Buddies, a program to instill a love for reading and writing while establishing positive relationships between students and senior community members. Buddies meet on Fridays throughout the year to read, discuss, and even publish books! They work together to design t-shirts with a message to reflect the importance of reading. Each student will receive a t-shirt and copy of their hardcover book. The program is funded by a PRIDE grant from NJEA. The students and seniors look forward to meeting each week!
