Buddy System


At OLS, children learn responsibility and the importance of teamwork by working cooperatively with other students.  In our buddy program, each upper-grade student is paired with a student in the lower-grades, and the pairs work together on various projects during the year.


The fifth grade and kindergarten classes recently met for their first buddy activity.  The students worked on a project that helped them get to know each other, marking the beginning of a long friendship.  Through these activities, the fifth graders develop their leadership skills, and the kindergarteners make a friend who will guide them throughout the school year. The students enjoyed working together!
