Milanesi Principal Anna Bettini initiated a safety program to parallel with the school's character education program. The program teaches students themes similar to what Safety Patrol symbolizes, such as responsibility and leadership.

Principal Anna Bettini said a student from kindergarten was paired with a first-grader, who then read a story to their younger classmates. There was a wide range of story topics -- some including animals, some with a sense of humor and some parallel to Milanesi's focus on character education.

Once a week, students read a book and then write a story about what they read, Bettini said. Older students reading to younger ones is "good role modeling," she said.

She added the older students also take pleasure in reading to others.
"The whole purpose is that reading is fun," Bettini said.
