6th Grade Sisters

Xavier has a wonderful 6th grade buddy program.  The Kindergartners get paired with a 6th grade sibling on the first day of school.  They get together with their siblings at least once a week throughout the school year.  Their match ended today as the Kindergartners were able to celebrate with the 6th graders during their graduation mass.  The 6th graders now move onto junior high at Beckman.  The 6th grade class was unusually large this year (4 classes) and the Kindergarten class was unusually small (2 classes) so each of the Kindergartners had TWO siblings!  Kelly was lucky to have two BIG SISTERS - Jackie & Mariah!  She loved them both and has formed a wonderful relationship with them throughout the year.  She sees Jackie multiple times a day as she is a car rider like Kelly.  Mariah is also in girl scouts so she has seen her at multiple girl scout events this year too.  Mariah has even asked her troop leader if Kelly could be in her group for girl scout day camp this summer!  These two sisters have been wonderful!!!
