The Lunch Buddy Program is a way for adults in the community to help local elementary students succeed. For at least one hour per week, a mentor is a student’s craft companion, check- er opponent, and recess partner. They eat lunch, play games, and just talk. They are a confidante. They are a friend. They are a buddy. The program aims to encourage confidence in children that may need some extra help through positive social interaction and genuine friendship from an adult role model.
