   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.
   
   "We have a student council, but this is another avenue to help children become respectful young leaders," Bettini said.

   Principal Anna Bettini said a student from kindergarten was paired with a first-grader, who then read a story to their younger classmates.

   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.
   
   "They're learning readiness skills and seeing where it leads them," Bettini said of younger students watching older peers read aloud.
   
   She added the older students also take pleasure in reading to others.
   
   "The whole purpose is that reading is fun," Bettini said.
