Topeka Bigs In Schools

Bigs in Schools is really cool.
I get to read with my Big each week with a smile upon my cheeks.
My Big is there in bad times too, he is there when I am blue.
He wipes the tears from my eyes, but lets me know it is okay to cry.
She is beside me when we walk and listens each time I need to talk.
My Big is there each week on the same day to read, laugh, and play.
My Big is special in her own way
and we support each other more than words can say.
So Bigs, Littles, enjoy your match;
let us know if there is anything we need to patch.
We are here to work for you, you are the reason we do what we do.
You may be a little scared at first, but trust me the first week is the worst.
Then the jitters will go away, but the excitement will stay.
So, with nothing left to fear, let us start off this wonderful year.
