The classroom environment, sports, clubs, and extra-curricular activities, afford our students many opportunities to be a friend as well as make new friends. If treated with care, school friends can become forever friends. And that’s golden.
Sharing wins, losses, laughter, and tears with teammates and classmates can lighten the sadness or deepen the joy.
