| Summary: |
We would like to implement a "Buddy Bench" to our school playground. It is an exciting proposal to help students connect when playing outside and improve their opportunities to reach out to one another and extend the care and concern for one another in the Lincoln Community. The Buddy Bench encourages children to practice some of the values of the Lincoln School. The Lincoln School has a Lincoln Lion mascot with a school charter of "Lincoln Pride". The students actively present the different aspects of PRIDE during the All School Assemblies. (P stand for PRIDE, R stands for Respect, I stands for INTEGRITY, D stands for DIVERSITY, E stands for EFFORT). All of these attributes encourage caring for one another and supporting those at our school. The "Buddy Bench" will be a tangible area the students can safely seek out support from one another and they can put into practice some of the inclusion and social caring skills they have learned while at the Lincoln School. |
