Buddy Bench by Dylan T

Have a look at the link above!  Last night, at our November School Council Meeting, one of our Grade 5 student leaders presented a proposal to our group for a new initiative ~ a Buddy Bench!  Dylan answered questions and shared his  ideas openly with the group about the benefits to our students in having this initiative at our school.

Not only is the council unanimously behind him, but we have the support of the staff and students at Huron Heights Secondary School too!  Mr. Shawn Boyes, Technical Director and woodworking teacher at Huron Heights has agreed to work with a group of his senior students to not only come up with proposed designs for the new Buddy Bench (or 2!), but they will build it for the mere cost of materials.  What a tremendous, collaborative community endeavour!

Congratulations, Dylan!  We are so proud of you!
