Big Buddies are 4th and 5th graders who have a desire to be mentors and helpers in the classroom. They are assigned to a Kindergarten or Pre-K classroom where they work each day during their lunch recess. Big Buddies can be assigned to work with a certain student or can be general helpers in the classroom for the teachers. They help students with their classwork, complete tasks for the teacher, supervise students during bathroom breaks, and many other duties. Like Play Leaders, they must also provide recommendations from their teachers and maintain good grades, attendance, and classroom behavior. They also earn the privilege of spending recesses in Mr. Mizuno’s room and attending special events.
