PCHES Reading Buddies

"Oh my gosh! I can't wait to go back!" was about the only thing you could hear from Student Council this past Wednesday since we got to become reading buddies to kindergarteners!  Throughout Q4, the Highlands Student Council will be walking to Pearl City Highlands Elementary School (PCHES) every Wednesday during the last period of the day. Every Student Council member is buddied up with 3-4 adorable kindergarteners!  Within our short, but productive 30 minutes we read a book and filled in the rest of the time with icebreakers and fun energizers!  For the most part, the kindergarteners put their squirmy hands in their lap and remain very engaged in the entire time.  Furthermore, Student Council gets to practice becoming a Community Contributor (GLO #2) as well as becoming an Effective Communicator (GLO #5). What an awesome way to kick off the 4th quarter and have a positive influence on the next generation! :))  Peyten, Student Government Treasurer
