Photo courtesy of Buffalo Elementary School Reading with the Jackets Former Buffalo Elementary School students Jordan Spencer, Keiston Smith, and Victor Ruth along with classmates Martez Crosby, Leah Lanier, and Jayla Crocker from Union County High School read with students from Mrs. Treadway's fourth grade class as part of Reading with the Jackets. Students enjoy listening to our athletes read, asking them questions, and getting their autographs. Our students are amazed when they find out that some of the Jackets were actually students at Buffalo who remember Reading with the Jackets years ago. Another special treat for Mrs. Treadway's class was getting to meet Ja's brother, Victor. It's awesome that the two schools can come together in such a positive way to motivate students to read.
