One of The Lena Archuleta School’s most beloved traditions is back! The Senior Buddies program returned with a special assembly on October 11 in the Berry Performing Arts Center. Since this special event fell during Spirit Week, all participants were photographed wearing their division’s theme of the day, which was Wacky Wednesday for LS and Western Wear for US.
After a brief welcome from JohnEric Advento, Lower School Head, senior lifers Hannah Yin ’24 and Naomi Valcourt ’24 shared reflections of their many years at LA. Hannah and Naomi placed special emphasis on their Lower School years with memories of their own experiences with senior buddies.
All Lower School classes from PreK(3) through Grade 5 were called to the stage to meet their senior buddies and pose for a photo. Gbemi Olarewaju ’24, Student Council president, made concluding remarks and dismissed the Lower School students to return to their classrooms to enjoy activities and snacks with their new Upper School friends.
