Mount Gilead first-grade teacher Julie Gregory’s students have high school buddies who work with them in math every Thursday.
“We love our High School buddies,” said Mrs. Gregory. “Every Thursday we are able to enjoy having our buddies help us do some fun learning with some fun subtraction games.”
The Mount Gilead High School Big Buddies program has been a favorite for both high school and elementary students for at least 20 years.
High School Big Buddies pair up to work with and visit elementary students. It is a great learning experience for both the high school and elementary students, a school news release states.
