As part of their service learning project, the girls basketball and girls soccer teams engaged in a long term commitment with Barbara Bush Elementary. Our goal was to help provide their kindergarten ELL students with personal reading assistance. The teachers provided us with the material we would use for the daily activity, which included books, worksheets, and flashcards. After going once per week for two months, the results of our service project were positive, as we observed growth and development in the reading, writing, and communication skills of the students we were helping. It was also amazing to see how graciously our students interacted with the students of Barbara Bush. Our Viking athletes showed a high level of character, professionalism, and warmth.
