Learning Buddies

Our Learning Buddies program pairs older and younger students across grade levels (K–8th) to build meaningful connections through shared learning experiences. Each pair or small group meets regularly to read together, work on creative projects and participate in other community-building activities. Older students develop leadership and mentoring skills as they guide their younger buddies, while younger students gain confidence, literacy skills, and a strong sense of belonging.

The program fosters a caring school community where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to learn from one another.
