It’s National Student Leadership Week, and while we have incredible student leaders across our entire district, our Bruins recently had an opportunity to lead by example! 🌟

Last week, Western Branch Middle National Junior Honor Society students headed over to Western Branch Primary to share their love for reading. They read stories, answered questions, and proved that leadership and literacy go hand-in-hand. 🐻

We’re so proud of how our students are building community, one book at a time. 📚
