PCHES Reading Buddies 2025

Who knew reading Green Eggs and Ham could be this fun?! This year, we 8th Graders got to buddy up with the 2nd Graders from PCHES (Pearl City Highlands Elementary School) for weekly reading time and fun — and it turned out to be one of the best parts of the year! At first, it was about helping them read, but soon we were laughing at silly stories, making up voices, and even creating our own mini adventures. We didn’t just help them—we learned a lot too! We also learned about patience, creativity, and how good it really feels to make someone’s day. By the end, it felt less like a school activity and more like a friendship. Reading Buddies = unforgettable memories! Tegan Shadwick, Student Government President
