On Tuesday, the sun was shining and the warm weather was not the only visitor bringing smiles to students in the Manchester Township School District! Whiting Elementary School (WES) was visited by Reading Buddies from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JB-MDL).
Soldiers could be found across WES not only reading to students and participating in their literary activities but also jumping in on recess and playtime, too! These formal, and informal, interactions with our hometown heroes allow students to connect with the soldiers, understand the various jobs that they do, and see that, although they all have serious military positions, they have fun, too!
Thank you to our Joint Base military partners for these incredible visits for our students and staff. We appreciate you!
