Reading Buddies Begin Another Year of Supporting SBISD Students
SBISD's Reading Buddies are back for another year, bringing community volunteers and second-grade students together to strengthen literacy skills and build meaningful relationships.
Since 2019, Reading Buddies has connected volunteers with students for 30 minutes of reading each week, providing encouragement, consistent support and opportunities to grow as readers.
The program's impact was highlighted in the 2026 Education Scorecard, a research project involving Harvard University, Stanford University and Dartmouth College, which reported:
88% of participating students showed gains in oral reading fluency.
More than 60% of the 340 volunteers counted had served for at least two years.
“We're excited to see so many community members in our schools helping students build their reading skills and showing them that their community cares about their success,” said Christopher Marroquin, Director of Community Engagement.
Thank you to our Reading Buddies for showing up each week, building connections and supporting SBISD's literacy priority and T-2-4 vision for Every Child!

Keeping Every Child safe starts with awareness, education and open conversations.
SBISD Police encourages families to talk with their children about firearm safety, including the importance of never handling a firearm and knowing what to do if they encounter one:
Never touch it.
Leave the area immediately.
Tell a trusted adult.
Take a few minutes to watch this important safety message and continue the conversation at home.
Behind the Badge: Building Relationships and Trust in SBISD
In SBISD, keeping schools safe starts with relationships, trust and being present for students every day.
At Spring Branch Middle School, Officer Nancy Avila has spent the past five years working alongside students, staff and families to help create a school where students feel safe, supported and connected.
“What I love most is the opportunity to build relationships with students,” Avila said. “Sometimes something as simple as taking the time to listen, encourage them or let them know that someone believes in them can make a difference.”
Across the district, Officer Rigoberto Hernandez and K-9 Wat support SBISD schools through the Police Department's patrol division. Wat is specially trained to assist with safety efforts, but he also has a unique ability to connect with students and help break down barriers.
Go behind the badge with Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Blaine as she visits with Officer Avila, Officer Hernandez and K-9 Wat to learn more about the people and everyday connections helping create safe, supportive schools in SBISD.
