Grymes Memorial School has many traditions and one which is often mentioned by alumni of the school is the Partner Program. For many middle school students, too much time is spent in solitude with electronic devices. Grymes students spend time interacting socially with their peers and with their younger “partners”. The “Partner Program”, once known as “Bigs and Littles”, begins each year in the second or third week of school and the first “Partner Day” of the new school year was on Wednesday, September 29th. The older students sent clues to the younger students to help them guess their identity and a special lunch was planned for the unveiling of partners. Throughout the school year, partner classes meet for special activities, usually surrounding a holiday. All of the students in the school quickly learn about each other which contributes to the friendly atmosphere throughout the school. The older students know they are modeling good citizenship for their young admirers which is good incentive to behave responsibly and respectfully throughout the school day.
