Genzyme Reading Buddies
We started with the Genzyme Reading Buddies in February with all the first grade students. Each student would read with their reading buddy for 30 minutes every Tuesday. We closed our Reading Buddy year out with a picnic on the playground. What a wonderful ending to an amazing year! We would like to thank Cambridge School Volunteers for their work on supporting this awesome partnership.
