Over 15 community leaders and volunteers took over classrooms at Alvarado Elementary North last Friday for the school’s second annual Indian Friend Reading Day.
The program, which started last year, brings leaders in the Alvarado community into the school to read to individual classes. When readers came in the past, it would be one reader and only one class would hear from that person.
Through the Indian Friends Reading Day program, each class in the school has a reader. Readers include insurance agent Angie McWilliams, Edward Jones representative Kathy Gray, a police officer and various other community leaders.
