Last week, our 4th graders had an amazing time with their 1st grade book buddies!
The older students practiced reading fluency and leadership skills while sharing stories with their younger friends. Meanwhile, the 1st graders were all smiles as they listened and explored pictures together.
It was a wonderful reminder that reading brings us all closer—and that learning can be fun at every age! 💙
We’re excited to continue our schoolwide challenge to build strong math and vocabulary skills at Lewisville Elementary! 🎉

We are so grateful for your kindness and support!
