This year the counselor along with Kiley Thompson have created a new club available to all SMS students called “Blue Buddies”. Students who choose to participate in this club will serve as mini-mentors to new students. Upperclassmen will be assigned a 6th grader who needs extra help in transitioning to the middle school. These students will do things throughout the school year to encourage & support the younger students. Members will also collect donations from school groups & the community to make “Spirit Bags” to welcome new students to SMS. We hope to include things like tickets to games, spirit items, fast food coupons, school supplies, etc. New students will be paired with a Blue Buddy to help show them around, introduce them & help them fit in at SMS. Since these students will be representing SMS & directly impacting other students, teacher recommendations will be required for membership.
