Redwood Elementary School Builds Community Spirit During Week of Respect
WEST ORANGE, NJ - Redwood Elemenary School's Week of Respect culminated with "Community Building Day" on Oct. 6.
Each year, students in Kindergarten, First and Second grade are paired with students in third, fourth and fifth to form year-long "Buddy Class" pairs. The older and younger students work together building community spirit.
Students were outside all morning enjoying sports and games activities together and several classes worked in the community garden in the afternoon.
The event was coordinated Guidance Counselor Rebecca Buetel and Physical Education teacher Franco Cozzolino.
"Students and staff alike enjoyed sharing this experience," said Interim Principal Heather Carr.
