Buddies

At Blessed Sacrament Catholic School our Buddy Program fosters a nurturing and supportive environment by pairing our youngest learners in VPK with compassionate 6th-grade mentors. This special relationship lasts for three years, creating lasting connections that enrich both the younger and older students.

  • Monthly Activities: Buddies meet regularly for a variety of activities, including academic opportunities, celebrations, and fun projects, promoting collaboration and mutual growth.
  • Mass: Buddies sit together during Mass, guiding the younger students in their faith journey and fostering a sense of community.
  • Long-Term Mentorship: Over the course of three years, older students serve as role models, providing consistent support and guidance to their younger buddies.

Benefits of the Buddies:

  • For Younger Students: They gain confidence and a sense of belonging, knowing they have a trusted mentor to turn to.
  • For Older Students: They develop leadership skills, empathy, and a deeper understanding of their faith through their role as mentors.
  • For the School Community: The program strengthens bonds across grade levels, creating a cohesive and supportive school culture.

At Blessed Sacrament, the Buddy Program exemplifies our commitment to nurturing the whole child—spiritually, academically, and socially—while building a strong, faith-filled community.
