On
October 16, 2015, the seniors (the class of 2016) and the eighth graders (class
of 2022) gathered for their first meeting together on the outdoor court.
Chatter and conversation filled the court as everyone met their new buddy. Some
pairs had known each other for years, but others were meeting for the very
first time. “Two Lies and a Truth” was the first game everyone played.
Suddenly,
all ears on the court perked up as the words “ice cream,” resounded. Mr.
Steinkamp announced the arrival and distribution of ice cream. Practically
everyone went towards the ice cream that was being distributed. As eighth
graders and seniors were consuming all the ice cream, they went on to discuss
the upcoming costume party.
The
costume event would be held on October 30th. The buddies would make
plans to coordinate their future costumes to encourage team spirit.
As
the first buddy event rounded to a close, both the eighth and twelfth graders
walked off satisfied and closer to their partners. Personally, I felt this was
a fantastic way to get to know my younger classmates.
