Some of our bilingual high school students were invited to attend Hayward Elementary’s Literacy Day on November 22, 2021. These students visited each Hayward classroom and read picture books in both English and Spanish. The Hayward students were very engaged with this experience and enjoyed it very much. This experience was also beneficial for our high school students as it allowed them to showcase some of their talents. This collaboration was a wonderful beginning to the holiday season. It’s a great day to be a Pioneer!
