School Works
School Works @FBC partners with Cockrell Hill Elementary School in our community of DeSoto to provide reading buddies to local kids. A reading buddy meets with an elementary student 1/2 an hour a week to help their elementary school buddy improve their reading ability. Elementary school aged children are one of the most strategic groups to reach. It is at the youngest ages that students need to learn skills and be encouraged so that they can discover success as they move into middle and high school. If students don’t learn to read by third grade, then they may never catch up or move forward. Being a Reading Buddy can change the course of a child’s educational experience and therefore his life.
FBC Kids is dedicated to enriching our community by serving the public schools in our area. Our goal is to make a difference in our community by showing the love of Jesus in practical ways and School Works is just one of the ways we can do that.
