Abby Kelley Foster Charter Public School: Kindergartners, seniors bond at Abby Kelley
WORCESTER—At the Abby Kelley Foster Charter Public School on Friday afternoon, 80 seniors bonded with 120 kindergartners as part of the Kindergarten-Senior Buddies Program.
The bonding was fitting because the school is located on New Bond Street.
Each senior was assigned one or two “Buddies” from the kindergarten class. The seniors had already written letters to the kindergartners, but Friday was the first of their three meetings this school year. The students colored and cut out paper snowglobes and other drawings together.
The program develops a sense of school community with the seniors serving as role models and provides a memorable experience for the kindergartners, helping them feel a sense of belonging.
