One of Gladstone's most treasured traditions is John Wetten Elementary fifth graders volunteering to spend time with kindergarteners at the Gladstone Center for Children & Families.
By taking time to read together, both the fifth graders and the kindergarteners improve their reading skills and empathy for students of different ages and abilities. Keep an eye on Portland Avenue, as groups of fifth graders regularly walk with their teachers to read with kindergarteners at the center.
