It’s the new year and that means it’s time for PCHES Reading Buddies! This annual program has the Highlands Student Council walking over to our neighbor school, Pearl City Highlands Elementary (PCHES for short) to promote literacy with all 2nd Graders. Not only do we read to them, we also play with them! PCHES Reading Buddies is a great way to take on a new leadership role for us and while having fun at the same time! Inevitably we build bonds and make sure everyone is included and also having the best time ;) For us 8th Graders this program provides an amazing opportunity to practice our leadership skills, teach us how to become better presenters, and helps us become better facilitators while running icebreakers and energizers. PCHES Reading Buddies is a win-win situation for all of us as we make lifelong memories and bonds with our little buddies ;) Jilliane Gaborno, Assembly Committee
