A first-grade student was moved to tears of joy as she read a farewell card from her fourth-grade buddy. "I really loved being your buddy and am glad that we got to work together. I hope to see you again!" the card read.
Throughout the school year, first-grade classes from Bridges Elementary paired up with fourth-grade classes from Grand Ave. Each month, the classes took turns visiting each other's schools, engaging in activities like games, paper airplane flying, puzzles, and crafts. These interactions allowed fourth graders to act as teachers and role models, while the first graders enjoyed one-on-one attention.
Bethany Hultgren hosted a final celebration at Ruth Culver's Library in Prairie du Sac, for four buddy classes to gather one last time. The event featured blanket tents, soft pillows, and cozy spaces for the children to read together, marking the end of a wonderful learning experience.
The hope is that these bonds will continue, and the students will reconnect in the community, possibly meeting again as freshmen and seniors in high school.
Congratulations!!
