5th Graders Mentor Kindergarteners

Every week Townline Elementary School fifth graders patiently work with kindergarteners. They help them with their numbers, sound out words with them and share stories. Their stories, however, might be related to questions they have on the bus or problems with friends in their class.

The weekly buddies program helps develop leadership skills in older students and provides younger students with a mentor to whom they can relate and confide.
