Readers as Leaders

Timber Lane Elementary has teamed up with the McLean High School boys basketball team to participate in the Readers Are Leaders program.  Once a week for five weeks, players from the team visited Timber Lane and read with twenty three second grade boys.  Each member of the team read with two boys and had discussions with the boys about the books and school.  The Timber Lane students and McLean students were excited each week to work together.  Watching everyone work together and to see the excitement in the room was amazing.  To celebrate the end of the program, the Timber Lane students will be recognized along with their players at a McLean home basketball game.
