Haverhill Book Buddies is celebrating the end of the 2023 to 2024 school year and opens registration for next year’s Book Buddy volunteers to the public.
Associated with Haverhill Promise, Haverhill Book Buddies has supported literacy in third grade classrooms throughout Haverhill for the past three years. This year, 403 students across five elementary schools and 20 classrooms participated alongside 500 volunteers from Book Buddies and Letter Screeners. More than 1,000 new books were distributed and over 2,000 letters were exchanged between the students and volunteers.
Book Buddies has once again opened its volunteer registration for those looking to participate as a Book Buddy in the 2024 to 2025 school year. Three times a year, volunteers send a developmentally appropriate book aligned with the interests of their student buddy, along with a handwritten letter about the book topic.
