Student Programs
Our students' days and lives are enriched both inside and outside the classroom. Through chapels and Buddy Groups, they connect with their Savior, and with the greater commity at Lamb of God Lutheran Elementary School. We value these shared experiences and the opportunity to share the Gospel every single day.

Buddy Programs
Buddy programs consist of Lamb of God elementary students reading and/or completing activities or projects with younger preschool children.
The experience provides children with stimulating opportunities for learning and skill development. Younger children especially enjoy the one-to-one attention they receive from their older buddies. They make comments such as, "He makes me feel special; he says nice things to me!" and "We do lots of fun things together. She`s my friend." Teachers report that participation in buddy programs enhances children`s cooperative learning behaviors such as taking turns, listening, sharing knowledge, praising another`s effort, helping one another, and completing a task.
Due to the extra attention and assistance, the younger children`s work often improves. As the older students assume the role of the teacher, they are motivated to do their best. They also experience pride in their ability to be helpful. The younger children bond with the older buddy and friendships flourish as the year progresses.
