ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- Lindbergh Elementary School implemented a new reading buddy program for its second-grade students.

Once a week from 10:40 to 11:40 a.m. on Wednesdays, individuals throughout the community volunteer their time to read with the second-grade students.

The goal of the new reading buddy program is to help these young students grow in their reading skills as well as learn to develop a sense of enjoyment toward it.

The program has had a great impact on both the students and the volunteers.

News-Press NOW will update this message.
