The Lunch Buddy program is a mentoring program for students who need extra time and attention from a caring adult. Mentors meet with a Mallett School student once a week for lunch and share recess time. They may go out on the playground, or stay inside and do activities (play games, read, draw, etc). The students look forward to and enjoy the one on one time with their “buddy”. In existence for over fifteen years, the program has involves many UMF students and community members who serve as Lunch Buddy mentors. Some buddies stay with their students for successive years, offering the student valuable time and consistency. Lunch Buddies typically takes place for one hour between 11:30-1:00 lunch/recess time block at either Mallett School, Cascade Brook, or Cape Cod Hill School.
