What is a Lunch Buddy program?

It’s a way for adults in the community to help local elementary students succeed.

 For one hour per week, a mentor is a student’s craft companion, checker opponent, and recess partner.  They eat lunch, play games, and just talk.  They are a confidante.  They are a friend.  They are a buddy. 

A teacher, staff member, parent, principal, or counselor recommends students for the program who would benefit from positive recognition and additional individual attention from a caring adult.
