The Junior BookPALS program is meant to increase the self confidence and reading skills of the older readers and add to the listening skills and the enjoyment of reading for the younger students.
Principal, Dora Barrio, is very enthusiastic about the program. "This will do wonders for all of our students. I'm excited to see the changes that occur."
