Reading Buddies Program Underway for 2011
Great Oak's Reading Buddies Program started the 2011 sessions on 19 January. The intent was to hold the first session on 12 January. Snow in our area caused a delay. However, the program is well underway. Reading Buddies is conducted by Great Oak in partnership with First Baptist Church on Moore Street.
