Sophomores from Mrs. Cook’s classroom at RHS recently had the opportunity to visit Rosman Elementary School to read with Mrs. Hokans’ students. During the visit, high school students paired up with younger readers to share stories, build connections, and encourage a love of reading.
This special partnership began a few years ago and has continued to be a meaningful experience for both schools. For the elementary students, it is a chance to read alongside older students they can look up to. For the sophomores, it is an opportunity to serve as positive role models, practice leadership, and give back to the school community.
Mrs. Cook’s students enjoyed spending time with Mrs. Hokans’ class and seeing the excitement that reading together can bring. Moments like these remind us that learning does not just happen inside one classroom; it grows through connection, encouragement and community.
"We are grateful for this continued partnership between RHS and Rosman Elementary and hope it remains a tradition for many years to come," RHS said.
