The playground at Jefferson has received a new piece of equipment! It is a Buddy Bench. The Buddy Bench is a place for students who do not have anyone to play with. All the student has to do is sit down on the bench and someone will come and invite them to play.
The idea behind the Buddy Bench is to promote kindness and friendship while eliminating bullying. Below are the Buddy Bench Guidelines.
Students who wanted to pledge to be a Buddy Bench Friend could sign a poster saying "I pledge to be a BUDDY not a bully!"
