A couple of green metal benches have been added to the Murphy playground (by each set of playground structures)…. over the course of the next week classroom teachers will be sharing some of the following information with kids:
- What is the Buddy Bench?: http://buddybench.org/what-is-the-buddy-bench/
- TedX, Charlie Cooper (Age 9): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7Z-Hq-xvxM
- Buddy Bench: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vic8BWVXlqE
If you Google “Buddy Bench” there are a lot of websites and videos related to them.
Mr. Martinson
Since this message was initially shared w/ staff, we were were contacted by the local Kiwanis club to make an actual bench similar to that painted version in the videos.
