Study Buddies is a group designed to assist children with their homework. The Study Buddies program is held once a week during the school year at Glen Grove School and is available for kids in Grades 1 – 8. Kids attending the group are assigned a volunteer study buddy to assist them with their homework. Study Buddies for the children are either volunteers from local high schools or generous adult volunteers from the community. Study Buddies begins at 6:30pm and lasts until 8pm. Children must be registered with the program to attend and they must bring homework to the group.
