Hello fellow readers! I was at dinner today when I was introduced to a former counselor of Fremd High School, Mr.Spenkler. My group's semester final project deals with incoming freshman being paired with upper classmen and when we consulted Mrs.Sheehan about this she mentioned meeting with a counselor to see if a similar system is already in placed. I took this as an opportunity to ask questions. The results were that Mr.Spenkler had told me that in Fremd High School has a system where it pairs up TRANSFER students with a buddy. He told me this was a way for them to get acclimated to a whole new area. Students in the more common junior highs were already connected to one another, therefore the high schools focused more on the kids who don't have this connection. He also talked about how logistically it would be difficult, however if we somehow included sophomores and juniors ,instead of limiting to just seniors, it is possible to accomplish this.
This post is long so I will continue the post on a separate one. That will include more of the concerns and problems of this.
Adios ^.^
