To encourage, teach and support interaction between all sixth grade students, especially children with special needs, “Buddy Bucks” was created as a reward incentive program. In December, a presentation was made to sixth grade students providing information about this new, volunteer program, “Buddy Bucks”.

Buddy Bucks can be earned by displaying friendship skills in the following ways:

 saving a seat at lunch

 playing together at recess
 being a buddy during a special such as music, PE, library, art, field trip
 initiating help when assistance is needed
 greeting peers in the hallway or during classes

Teachers will intermittently hand out Buddy Bucks when they see sixth grade students demonstrating these friendship skills with their peers. Thanks to the generosity of the PTA, the Buddy Bucks can then be cashed in at the school store for a variety of school supplies. Several Buddy Bucks are being awarded on a daily basis. So be a buddy and earn your Buddy Bucks today!
