6^th Grade Buddies

Kindergarteners have each been assigned a 6^th grade Buddy for the school year.  Students enjoy Buddy time.  Our Buddies help us by:

·         Escorting us to church for school masses

·         Creating projects with us

·         Playing games with us

Most importantly, the 6^th graders aspire to demonstrate good choices and respectful behavior to the kindergarteners.  Kindergarteners benefit in learning student learning expectations from an older child.

We will usually see them for Mass, on some full schedule Fridays and at some special events.  We will make letters, cards and crafts as gifts to our Buddies during school.  

Please do not send any special gifts to your child’s Buddy for any special occasion.
