Buckingham elementary kids learned about the importance of respect this week as part of our You Go Girls series. From respecting others to repecting themselves, Big Buddies Lindsey and Katie helped the 4th and 5th graders to explore a variety of sitations where they could respond with either disrespect or respect.. .and guess which the kids liked more??? Nice job ladies and Happy Birthday Lindsey! You Go Girls!!!
On Wednesday after homework time and super healthy fruit and vege snacks - our middle school Buddies explored the concept of encouragment.. not only how to funtion as encouragers but also what each needed to experience encouragment. We worked on our Buddies motto taken from the book of John.. "love others as I have loved you"... our key to ultimate encouragement.
We ended the day after a fun round of skits demonstrating encouraging behaviors (with lots of laughter) followed by a crazy game of Taboo.
We have more room in our middle school program for both mentors and middle school girls so PLEASE let us know if you want to join us by writing to afterschoolbuddies@gmail.com.
We are waiting for an update from the Grace Baptist program to share their news of the week. Check tomorrow for an update! Char
