Caitlin's buddy

Caitlin's school did this thing that I'd never heard of before - they had 5th grade "buddies" that came into their classroom and helped them on assorted projects. I have never actually met Caitlin's buddy, although we did get waved at a few times by an older kid who Caitlin just explained was her friend.

What did I know?

Turns out, they had a whole appreciation class for them where thank you notes and little presents were exchanged on their last day together. Seems they hit it off really well and Caitlin cried when she thought her friend, who is moving on to 6th grade (and a whole new school next year), may not be able to visit her sometimes! Then there was the note from the 5th grader - so sweet!


Sorry it's kind of chopped off - the whole page doesn't quite fit on the scanner!

Wow! I spoke to one of the other mom's and she mentioned that Caitlin's buddy is the school champion spelling bee queen. Funny, to hear of a 10 year old child speaking of a 6 year old child's "promise in life". Her parents are probably really proud of her - I would be!
