Alpharetta Elementary Students Buddy Up With Special Peers

While most children shy away from children with special needs, the students at go to extraordinary lengths to be their "buddies."  All throughout the school day at Alpharetta Elementary, students buddy up with their peers with special needs in lunch; in their classrooms; out at recess and in physical education.

In the gym, students volunteer to work with their special friends and earn a "PE Buddy of the Month" T-shirt. It is a heartwarming experience to see everyone work together and one that is positive for both groups.
