What is the buddy bench??


 The buddy bench is a simple idea to eliminate loneliness and foster friendship on the playground. We will spread the message of inclusion and kindness from a young boy, Christian's, idea after researching schools in Germany. 
Christian made a video with Mr. Miller, his principal, to explain how the Buddy Bench will be used.
Parents/students, watch the above video and post a comment about what you learned about the buddy bench by POSTING a comment below!! If you post a comment, your child will receive 3 bonus points on this week's WONDER test!!

Make sure to come out to the Buddy Bench Reveal this Friday at 8:30 at the OES Playground!!!
