This afternoon, students from Oneonta High School’s Real Readers Club and Varsity Book Club visited Greater Plains to spend time reading with our 1st graders. The visit was filled with enthusiasm and meaningful interaction. While our younger Yellowjackets enjoyed listening to stories, many were especially eager to read aloud to the high school students, proudly sharing their developing skills and confidence. Moments like these highlight the value of cross-grade connections and the positive impact older students can have as role models. It was a wonderful afternoon centered on literacy, leadership, and shared smiles.
