8th Grade Peer Buddy Program Kicks Off

On December 6, four of our Upper Schoolers visited Manhattan Children's Center on West 95th Street for an orientation on autism and a tour of the school in preparation for the launching of our joint Peer Buddy Program. This program is open to 8th graders this trimester as a winter service option. They will meet with MCC students and teachers once per month for lunch and collaborative activities. The goals of the Peer Buddy Program include learning to value differences in people, recognizing strengths in individuals, and developing leadership capacities as empathetic, compassionate members of the community.
