Volunteer Marilyn Adler listens to second-grader Trinity Archer read her a story. Adler is one of several volunteers from Columbia Ridge Senior Living who reads with students on a weekly basis. "It's nice to be around the kids and work with them," the retired teacher said.

Nearly every Thursday, volunteers from Columbia Ridge Senior Living board a van and make a quick trip to Woodburn Elementary School, a mile away.

There, they spend the next hour or so reading with second-grade students. It’s a partnership that works well for all involved.
