It’s a new year which means it’s time for new adventures! Maybe that means getting outdoors more or reevaluating our relationship with ourselves and our neighbors. For some, perhaps it means a little more self-reflection and self-care. Here in Western New York the year may start out on the chillier side, but we’re not about to let that stop us.

Sweet Buffalo 716 is highlighting sweet stories worth sharing: a local seventh grader made his classmate’s day in a way you may not expect.
