Students Volunteer to Help River Valley Students
with Trucker Buddy Program
Sixteen fifth and sixth grade
students from Starkweather Elementary have been spending one noon hour each month working
with students from River Valley School in Rock Valley. The River Valley students are
in the class of LaVonne Witte. The students from Starkweather Elementary have been
writing letters to the class's Trucker Buddy as well as helping the River Valley students
write their own letters. This provides an opportunity for students from the two
schools to work together and even develop friendships. The students have been
receiving letters on a regular basis from their Trucker Buddy, Marlene Poe from Rockaway
Beach, Missouri. The letters and postcards have described the her travels. The
students are hoping that she will actually visit Rock Valley so they can meet her in
person and see her truck.
