Epiphany Episcopal School’s buddy tradition starts again

2010-09-01 / Education


Several years back Epiphany Episcopal School developed a buddy program, which combined students from a younger class and students from an older class working together and either attending chapel together or doing buddy activities on Fridays. By having the younger students work with the older students they help each other out in nurturing and guiding each other. Peggy DeRouen, head of Epiphany Episcopal School believes that it is also a deterrent from bullying, which is the greatest part of the program.
