Buddy program First grade at Ellinwood Grade School applied and received grant money from the Golden Belt Foundation to help fund a Buddy Program in cooperation with Country Place Senior Living Facility. Students are taking turns visiting the residents every Monday afternoon to participate in a variety of social activities together. On the first visit, students enjoyed reading Fall books with their buddies.
