The Osnaburg Local All-In Group is asking for monetary donations in order to purchase a "Buddy Bench" for the elementary playground. When a child is sitting on a Buddy Bench , it is a signal to other kids to ask him or her to play. There are several reasons that a child may be sitting alone on the Buddy Bench- perhaps they are new to the district, their friends are absent from school that day, or maybe the child would like to play with new kids or even try a new game. For kids with no one to play with, there may be no lonelier place than the school playground. Moreover, for kids who have an established friends group, they may not think to ask other kids to join them. That's why the Buddy Bench can be so influential- it helps bring the two groups of kids together! If this project is funded, the Osnaburg Local staff and students will work together to provide awareness about the Buddy Bench and how it will be used to help eliminate loneliness on the school playground. We ask that you consider making a donation to our page in support of purchasing a Buddy Bench for the EC Elementary playground. Thank you in advance for any and all donations, whether small or large. Every little bit helps, and we couldn't be more appreciative of your support!
