Martin School’s Buddy Bench

Posted

This year Mrs. Braganca’s second grade class was instrumental in putting in a new addition to George R. Martin Elementary School’s playground. The class wanted a buddy bench. The purpose of the bench is when someone is alone at recess you sit on the bench to let people know that you are looking for a friend. The students all wrote to Mrs. Braganca’s husband, John Braganca, details of what they would like the bench to look like, where it should go, and how big it should be. Mr. Braganca set out to build the 5ft long bench, and he even brought the pieces into school so the whole class could take turns sanding the letters on it. Two students from the class, Paige and Brody, claimed they liked sanding down the wood, even though it was difficult. The bench will be installed this summer so it will be ready for the start of school. Paige, Brody, and Mrs. Braganca’s entire class would like to thank Mr. Braganca for all his hard work.
