On Wednesday, November 5, Kraemer Middle School and Ruby Drive Elementary School partnered once again to participate in Read for the Record, an annual literacy initiative designed to promote a love of reading and strengthen connections across school communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students from Kraemer\u2019s PEER Leadership and GEAR UP classes enthusiastically joined Ruby Drive\u2019s transitional kindergarten and first-grade students to read The Snowy Day by author Ezra Jack Keats. Following the shared reading experience, Kraemer students engaged their younger buddies in a variety of interactive activities held in Ruby Drive\u2019s multipurpose room. These collaborative exercises reinforced core literacy and comprehension skills from the first-grade curriculum while fostering creativity, teamwork, and mentorship. Transitional kindergarten students also participated in themed activities, including crafting snowmen and enjoying a playful snowball toss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Ruby Drive Elementary and Kraemer Middle School proudly hold the esteemed distinction of being AVID National Demonstration Schools. Advancement Via Individual Determination equips educators with research-based strategies that accelerate learning and prepare students for success in college, career, and life. Through literacy-centered events such as Read for the Record, both schools continue to model engaging and impactful instructional practices that support academic growth and community connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kraemer and Ruby Drive\u2019s collaborative efforts exemplify how purposeful partnerships can make reading both meaningful and enjoyable for students of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
