JKSA Learners Create Buddy Benches for Elementary Learners
Several JKSA learners have worked hard to design Buddy Benches that will be taken to Erma Nash Elementary. Buddy Benches were invented to combat loneliness and bullying in schools. Sometimes called a Friendship Bench, these benches are provided on school playgrounds as a way for students to signal to others that they are feeling lonely and isolated and need a friend to play with or talk to. Erma Nash has previously had Buddy Benches that were sadly destroyed. Our JKSA learners are always finding ways to help out our community. We are so proud of them!
