Big & Little Buddies
Throughout Blackwell, buddy classes have paired up to give older students a chance to work with younger students, and younger students get to know our older students.  Kids and teachers enjoy this program!
    Quotes from teachers:

·       “It’s been exciting for me as a teacher to see some of the kids that I had as 2nd grade little buddies now be the responsible big buddies.” Carol Nicholson
