This year, new changes have been implemented to the 7th and 8th grade buddy program. This year was supposed to be the program’s last year, however it was brought back and revamped by a group of students.The buddy program was created many years ago to help 7th and 8th grade students get to know each other and provide the 7th graders an older friend who they could get guidance from. However, besides walking to Larchmont with your buddy for lunch at the beginning of the year, there were few other planned activities, and the students didn’t interact with their buddies for the remainder of the year.
