Another group of nine LHS students, organized by student Abraham Lopez and accompanied by social studies teacher Brooke Richter, went to American Elementary School. The students donated books and read to the students. The other students who participated were: Maria Robison, Monica Lopez, Andee Jacobson, Fatima Telles, Daniela Ubaldo, Elim Recinos, Dalilah Moya, and Ariel Spray.
“We read to most classes and then we helped with a rally, where Abraham was one of eight people -- a few teachers and one sixth grader -- to be ‘pied’ as a reward for students who read for 30 minutes,” Ms. Richter said. “We had a diverse group of students -- sophomores, juniors, and seniors -- with different backgrounds and career interests. What brought us all together was a love of reading and enriching children's learning experiences.”
Football Coach Richie Bolin also took six varsity football players to read at Harris Elementary: Kyndrie Bolton, Connor Mullin, Jalen Murphey, Jacob Ramos, Saigen Sampayan, and Brock Wattenbarger.
