Saint Joseph School Buddy Program

Our Buddy Program unites students across all grade levels to foster a welcoming and supportive school environment where every child feels connected. Each younger student is paired with an older buddy who acts as a mentor, cultivating a bond that encourages teamwork, empathy, and social growth. The Buddy Program empowers older students to take on leadership roles and inspires younger students with a dependable guide in their school journey.

Through engaging shared activities such as reading, games, and projects, buddies strengthen their communication skills and build confidence. In addition to informal interactions, students meet after all-school masses for a snack and planned activity, alternating grade-level hosting responsibilities. Once each trimester, buddies enjoy a joint gym class, encouraging teamwork in a fun, active setting.

The Buddy Program breaks down age barriers and promotes inclusivity, enhancing the sense of unity across our school. By creating these cross-grade connections, the program enriches our community, building a foundation of mutual respect and friendship that strengthens the Saint Joseph School experience for all students.
