Will Rogers Wildcat Buddies
St Luke’s Edmond has teamed up with Will Rogers Elementary to create the Wildcat Buddies Program. Wildcat Buddy volunteers help students in several ways: reading one-on-one with a student; reading with a small group of students; helping with homework; playing academic games with a small group of students.
There will be a training session where you can tour the school and meet the teacher you’ll be partnered with. This program starts mid September and extends through mid May. If you are interested in learning more about Reading Buddies, please contact Jamie Williamson.
What does it mean to be a Wildcat Buddy?
- You can choose the grade level (PreK – 5th);
- You can choose the day/timeframe of your choice (Monday – Friday; 9:30 a.m. – 2:45 p.m.);
- You’re partnered with that same teacher at the same time every week; all year long.
Wildcat Buddies Should:
- Be a consistent volunteer. Students look forward to reading and learning with their Wildcat Buddies and enjoy seeing them at the scheduled times. Anticipating this time has even increased some students’ attendance rates.
- Keep communication lines open with the school Wildcat Buddies Coordinator. Express any concerns with the Wildcat Buddies Coordinator or the Community Relations team.
- Follow school protocol and rules.
- Keep information about the student confidential.
- Keep comments made in the presence of students positive.
- Always have volunteer identification visible.
