Our Kindness Bench in memory of Mrs. Mariano was installed at the end of September due to construction over the summer at our school site, and we held a commemoration ceremony on Friday, October 3rd. We invited Mrs. Mariano's family to attend the commemoration, which was very moving for everyone. The love in the air was palpable, and Mrs. Mariano's family was so appreciative for the thoughtful way the school is commemorating the memory of Gina. \r\n\r\nGina loved Phillips Elementary School and was not only a beloved teacher here, but had attended Phillips Elementary School as a child. She made sure she helped her students feel better when they were feeling sad by providing them lots of love and support, especially during recess time. We would often find her at the lunch benches, supporting students who may have needed extra TLC. Because of this, we wanted to honor her legacy of kindness with a Kindness Bench in her memory, and chose the color pink as this was her favorite color. \r\n\r\nThe kindness bench will serve a very special purpose. When students are at recess and feeling left out or alone, they can sit on the bench, and that is a signal to others to invite them to join their game or activity. The bench is a beautiful symbol of what being a true Phillips Eagle is all about: showing kindness to others.\r\n\r\nWe cannot thank you enough for sharing your kindness to our school site by providing us with the funds to purchase and install our kindness bench. It will always be such a beautiful testament that there is kindness all around us.","fullyFundedDate":1736053882366,"projectUrl":"project/friendship-bench-in-memory-of-beloved-te/8903618/","projectTitle":"Friendship Bench in Memory of Beloved Teacher Gina Mariano","teacherDisplayName":"Sra.
