At Gunter ISD we know the importance of fostering relationships between all campuses. Younger students look up to older students, and those older students have a way of making the younger ones feel special. That is exactly what our "Senior Buddy Program" is all about... fostering relationships!
When a younger student looks up to an athlete, actor/actress, musician, or Academic UIL competitor for their performance outside of the classroom, imagine the impact the older students
have when they walk into a classroom and show them that learning is just as important as the extracurricular activities. This program promotes positive behavior, social skills, and friendliness.
So what does the senior take from this? A lot! They are making memories they will take with them into their next adventure in life. They are giving back to the campuses that nurtured them as they climbed to the top of their educational ladder in high school.
All of this is what makes Gunter ISD and our community so great! Take a look at some of our buddies at work (or play)! Thank you to the students who volunteer for this program! You will never know the impact you are having on a child.
