SENIOR BUDDIES
The Senior Buddy program unites the Senior class with smallest Knights in preschool. Caitlin Bruce, Senior Buddy Coordinator says, “the Senior Buddy tradition is one of my favorite things to organize every year! Our Pre-school students look up to the “big kids”. We meet throughout the year and do crafts, exchange goodies, and even play together! Believe it or not, the Seniors enjoy it just as much as the little buddies!” The senior buddy program personifies the family atmosphere found at Macon East Academy. The preschool buddies enjoy cheering for their senior buddies at Macon East sporting events, high fiving them on the sidewalks, and bonding with the older students.
The seniors look forward to participating and mentoring to the younger students. We asked a few seniors what they looked forward to when meeting their buddy:
“I love meeting new friends, especially kids younger than me, I can be a role model/inspiration to them.” Tyler Daniels
“I will love hanging out with my buddy because I can be a mentor to Easton.” Khamani Driver
“I really enjoy meeting new friends! Juneau seems like a cool person. This opportunity is a fantastic way to strengthen the alliance between the class of 2022 and the class of 2035.” Bryant Rascoll
The Alabama Independent School Association recently hosted the Student Government Association Fall Workshop at Vaughn Forest Church in Montgomery on Monday, September 13, 2021. Macon East Academy SGA President, Luke Noffsinger, was elected District 6 Representative. Congratulations Luke on your continued leadership!
