buddy bench

Have you ever heard of a buddy bench? Have you ever wanted play but feel as though you don't have a friend to play with or ever have you felt like you were alone? A Buddy Bench is a place where students who are looking for a friend to play with or who are feeling lonely can go and sit. Then others can come and invite them to play with them on the playground.

Thanks to Iron Springs Elementary PTA Mr. Jenkins, Principal, and Mr. Grimm, Assistant Principal, revealed two Buddy Benches during our Dance Festival on the last day of school this past May. Over the summer our custodians installed one on each playground. We are very excited to see them put to use and to help our students make more friends.
