Buddy Mentor Program begins for 7th and 8th Graders

Beginning the week of September 17, all seventh and eighth grade students will be assigned a SPEDS graduate alum as their buddy/mentor.  All of our buddy/mentors are currently  high school juniors or seniors at a variety of high schools in the Kansas City area.  The purpose of the program is to add a layer of support for these students who often have a variety of questions regarding school, high school preparation and friendships.  Buddy/mentors will only communicate via e-mail or phone.  Several of the high school students led divisional chapel on Monday, September 17 as a way of launching the program.  Eighth grade buddy/mentors are Hannah Tutera, Caroline Creidenberg, Emily McCann, Nick Saleh, Brittan Bates, Maddie Miller, Aaron Branch and Malik Tidwell.  Seventh grade buddy/mentors are Arianna Lane, Tommy Larson, Brendan McCann, Connor Prochnow, Jackie McGee, Sammy Patterson and Emma Robertson.
