LSE’s  Head Start Reading Buddies program, which began in 2016, provides readers for Head Start classrooms at Central Complex Building C, Mary Walter Elementary School, and H. M. Pearson Elementary School. The children look forward to having the Reading Buddies come to their classrooms and many request favorite books be reread again and again.

​

For those interested in becoming a part of this enriching experience, please note that Reading Buddies should be 18 years or older. If you meet this criterion and have a passion for sharing stories with eager young listeners, please complete the volunteer form below.
