The seventh grade students each had a kindergarten buddy. They attended school Masses and other religious services together throughout the school year.

They worked on projects together and shared many fun times.

On the seventh graders’ last day of school, they had a breakfast of donuts and milk with their buddies. Then, they spent time together blowing bubbles and decorating the cemented quad on campus with their chalk drawings.
