Student Leadership has sponsored the implementation of a Buddy Bench program on both the primary and secondary playgrounds. The idea for these benches came from 3rd grade students who wanted to provide friendship opportunities on the playground.
The benches were placed on both playgrounds in February. Students use these benches as a starting point to search for and find friends, include others and make new friends. In support of their efforts, Student Leadership purchased the benches and those third grade students assembled and painted the benches.
Students in Miss Warner's third grade class worked with Mrs. Huter to create "rules" around how students should use the buddy bench and created a presentation for the staff who then shared it with students. The buddy bench is a positive addition to our playground and we are grateful to the students and student leadership for their support of this initiative!
