Our Buddy Program pairs younger grades 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. Young students look forward to
seeing their big-kid friends, and older students take pride in the responsibility that
comes with becoming a big-kid buddy.

Program
A variety of clubs are offered to Middle
School students throughout the year,
providing opportunities to share
common interests and to try new things.
Teachers, whose interests are also
reflected in the club-offerings, serve as
advisors. Examples of clubs include:
reading, drawing, outdoor games,
watercolor, scrapbooking, writing/
journaling, painting, iPad apps,
dancing, karaoke, board games, and
walking. Clubs typically meet twice a
month.

"I have been at Barnesville for 10 years and I can say that my
middle school years have been some of the best years because of all the
field trips and amazing people."
