Sacajawea's Student Council Creates a Buddy Bench to Promote Kindness!

Sacajawea's Student Council is doing their part to promote International Friendship Week, February 11th- 17th. Student Council members have taken an old existing bench on the playgorund and given it a facelift with a purpose! The motto of the bench is "Be a leader by being a buddy and plant the seeds of kindness!". The bench encourages students to be a buddy to those who do not have a friend to play with during recess. The bench can be utilized a few different ways. Students can sit and wait on the bench for a friend to ask them to play, then go with that friend who offers. Two students sitting at the bench can turn to one another and invite each other to play. Playground friends who are not on the Buddy Bench, can look around from time to time, to see if they can invite someone on the bench to play. The Buddy Bench is a purposeful addition to Sacajawea that can unite students and grow friendship circles with a powerful message. "Be a leader by being a buddy and plant the seeds of kindness!"
