OXFORD — Students in grades 3 through 5 from the Boxberry Elementary School visited the Pine Tree Children’s House on Jan. 19.

As a part of Boxberry’s weekly curriculum, students participate in peer to peer mentoring where older students actively engage younger students by taking turns reading aloud to one another. Boxberry students’ love for reading is an experience that they wanted to share with other children in the community.

They arrived at the Children’s House to the preschoolers waking up from naps, introduced themselves and helped them pick out books they were interested in having read to them. The preschoolers listened attentively and some excitedly asked questions.

Boxberry students will continue to visit the Pine Tree Children’s House every month over the course of the school year. Boxberry students want to show these preschoolers that reading books can be very fun and entertaining.
