Grandmas Support Brewster Readers

By Tanya McCombs, August 20, 2016

Brewster Adventist Christian School, a small prekindergarten to eighth-grade school with a familylike atmosphere in central Washington, has recently been blessed by the volunteer time of four amazing grandmas from the local church. Each day of the week, Monday through Thursday, one of the grandmas comes in for one and a half to two hours to volunteer her time listening to children read in groups and individually. This is especially helpful in the multigrade classrooms, which have varying reading abilities.
