Dozens of middle school students in south suburban Robbins spent Friday morning getting to know their classmates better, hopefully turning acquaintances into friendships.
It’s part of National No One Eats Alone Day, an event promoting inclusivity and kindness that can have a significant impact on young teens.
“Usually in school people sit with their friends,” Kellar Middle School student Eric Mendez said. “But now you can sit with new people because you’re creating new friendships.”
