📚💬 Reading Buddies Wrap Up with Heart! 💫💛 Ms. Almario's and Mrs. Boldt's classes came together for their final reading buddies session, and while not much reading happened—that was exactly the point! 😊 Instead, students spent time talking, laughing, and making friendship bracelets, soaking in those last moments of connection and joy. Over the past few months, these buddies have built special friendships through books, curiosity, and kindness. Watching them grow—not just as readers, but as thoughtful, caring humans—has been an absolute joy. Here’s to the big memories made by our little buddies! 💕
