Little Buddies

On Monday, November 30th, our advisory joined Ms. Jacobs' advisory on a trip to the nursery school on Woodlawn to meet up with our new little buddies in Ms. Hamburg's class. The seventh graders paired up with little buddies to read stories and play outside. All of the kids (old and young) seemed a bit nervous at first, but everyone quickly became friends.
