Info for Students

BIG BUDDIES / LITTLE BUDDIES

Kinder students are paired with 5th graders, a culminating year highlight for many students and a wonderful opportunity for the youngest, newest students to find a friendly face and role model in the older grade. As Amy Weisberg, teacher of TK explains in her blog: "The children really enjoy spending time with the big kids and besides talking, the Big Buddies read them stories and have a little play time on the yard."
