To bring students in the Buddy Program together for some outdoor fun, New Hyde Park Road School hosted a pirate-themed Buddy Day on Sept. 20.
The school’s Buddy Program pairs younger students with their older peers. The Buddies meet for reading and other classroom activities throughout the school year. The students were introduced to their Buddy Class during the first week of school.
On Buddy Day, students joined their designated Buddy Class outside for fun pirate-themed relay races and activities. They participated in sailboat races, hook-hand relays, and tossed a fake crab into a bucket. Students were encouraged to dress in pirate costumes to celebrate Buddy Day, as well.
This is the school’s second annual Buddy Day celebration.
