On Monday, Jan. 27, 20 Blue Creek fifth graders from Mrs. Poskanzer’s class were honored at the Board of Education meeting for their regular assistance with kindergarten students during lunch time.

“It can be pretty crazy in the cafeteria and a lot of the time the kindergarten students need some help,” Blue Creek Principal Annette Trapini said. “So, I decided to enlist the help of some of our fifth grade students who have been instrumental in making the younger students feel safe, cared for and loved.”

Not only do the fifth grade students sit and talk with the younger students, but they also circulate the cafeteria to help the kindergarteners wash their hands, open milk and other packages and get them anything they forgot like napkins or utensils.
