THE BUDDY BENCH
Earlier this year, “Buddy Bench” signs were installed on the kindergarten through 5thgrade playground at Liberty Christian School. When children sit on these benches, it signals to others that they’re looking for a buddy to play with. Third graders, Brooks Lepschy, Cade Lewis, and Josiah Sanchez got the idea after seeing a Buddy Bench at a local park and thought it’d be the perfect addition to their school playground. What cuties! photo courtesy of Liberty Christian School social media page
