LINKS CONTINUES TO IMPACT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTSTypically you'd find a mentor and their lunch buddy hanging out during the lunch hour, bonding over easy conversation, crafts, or other interactive activities all in support of the young student's social-emotional development.
With the pandemic, the program has transitioned to carefully monitored emails, letters and video chats. We know this program is making a impact with student survey results showing that they enjoy spending time with their Lunch Buddy and feel that their Lunch Buddy cares about. Hearing "I really needed a friend and to know I wasn't forgotten" touches our hearts and lets us know this work is making a difference. |
