Grandbuddies is really fun because we get to connect with elders in our community. Our grandbuddies are wise and funny and awesome! Our class loves spending time with them. We play games, do fun activities, and eat snacks together. Last month, we played Bocce Ball and ate popcorn. We take turns visiting each other. One month, we go to Sturgeon Creek Retirement Residence and the next month, they come to Athlone. The best thing about our grandbuddies is that they are kind and thoughtful and fun to hang out with. They tell us stories and make us laugh. We are learning how to treat people with respect and kindness, especially our elders. Our grandbuddies are always excited to see us. Having a grandbuddy is like having a special grandparent down the street. It doesn't matter how young or how old you are, you can still be friends.
