Dear Editor,
This year MLWGS Peer Mentors are working to build their community by reaching out to young people. To celebrate National Young Reader’s Day, students visited Highland Springs Elementary School, where they read children’s books to kindergarteners and first graders.
Ms Arnold, Ms. Davis, and I facilitated this activity, which promoted interaction among scholars of varying ages. Because of the generous influx from the MW student body, three barrels of gently used books were donated to young pupils, who were able to select titles that appealed to their individual interests. “Students are so excited about this,” commented the Highland Springs Elementary School librarian. To conclude the visit, Peer Mentors helped pupils create bookmarks, which included pictures of Maggie L. Walker, school namesake and one who epitomizes perseverance, education, and community involvement.
Note: a special thank you to Mr. Brown, Mr. Charles, Ms. Hawkins, Ms. Deck, Ms. Sheppard, and Mr. Zweerink for their assistance with this activity.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lisa Williams, MLWGS English Teacher
