“Chance is always a risk, but most of the time, good things happen.” says Administrative Assistant Vicky Cary. “I recognized that not all students were getting the most out of SSR, and some teachers were passionate about sharing their interests with kids through reading and discussion.”
Buffalo High School has different SSR (Silent Sustained Reading) classes for students to choose from. SSR is the last 20 minutes of Tuesdays and Thursdays at BHS. Some of the new SSR classes have separated gender, different grades, and different classes like Arts Magnet Advisory. There are about 15 new SSR classes from students to choose from. Students are able to sign up for them this year during registration.
“I don’t think anything is permanent in education,” says Cary, “We try to see what works and continue to develop and grow. We’ll continue to research and get feedback from staff and students, just as we do with everything.”
