BUDDY PROGRAM
Younger grades are paired with older grades so
students develop meaningful relationships with
students in other age groups. Older students have
genuine opportunities to be role models and leaders
while younger children know they have special
friends looking out for them. Buddy activities are
built into our schedule once a month and include
craft projects, playground time, reading books,
community service, and sometimes just goofing
around.
TEA TIME
Lower School grades are grouped together to participate in T.E.A. Time (Team
Enrichment Activities). Preschool and kindergarten work together each Friday
for cross-curricular and collaborative activities. is time is also used for
community service projects or to meet with Buddies.
CHARACTER EDUCATION
Barnesville's character education is built around nine core values: Kindness,
Service, Perseverance, Respect, Initiative, Courage, Cooperation, Responsibility,
and Honesty. Regular meetings are held in the classroom, among divisions, and
in whole-school assemblies to reinforce these values. rough lessons and
experiences, Barnesville kindergartners learn what it means to be a good friend
and a responsible member of a larger community.
