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.
