Buddy Bench New Story by Ceci

Is A Bench Just An Embarrassment

By: Ceci

At Glenridge Elementary on August 22    they introduced the Buddy Bench to help kids who want someone to play with. In a comment they explained it wasn’t a joke however many kids think it is.

Well many kids sit down and make a joke about it and say things such as “Will you be my buddy?!?” and some kid fake cry. Well Sophia in 5th grade said “Someday it will have a purse.” and Sara said “I would help someone who needed it.” However Claudia even told me “Kids in fifth grade just sit on it or take it as a joke.” Even if you were lonely Stella a painter of the buddy bench said “I’d never sit on there.” Ashliegh 5th grade girl told me “People who need it don’t want to sit down. So none will actually use it.”

Well the teacher Mr. Manly a first grade supervisor said “Well, First grade uses it alot if they need someone they sit right down.” “4th and 5th grade never use it.” Said Mrs. Stoffer.

It’s off limits to everyone 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Teachers think it’s hurtful and rude. It will be like that till prove they are responsible they said it would reopen.

Everyone hopes it will come in great use to us. Everyone at Glenridge elementary is learning a great lesson from this and everyone is trying to help each other with this problem. Till then everyone will keep trying to help the people who sit down and most people are hoping everyone will start making responsible choices. The teachers hope to reopen the buddy bench for all grades.
