A big heartfelt thank you to Ludlow Cares for our beautiful new buddy bench located near our basketball court. A special thank you to Laura Rooney and Jillian Parent, both of Ludlow Cares who were instrumental in making this happen.
A buddy bench is a simple tool designed to combat loneliness and foster inclusion on school playgrounds. The underlying thought process focuses on emotional safety, peer empathy, and removing the social barrier of asking to join a game.
As you can see friendships are starting to form and the Buddy bench has been very popular. We look forward to seeing more friendships blossom during the school year. If you would like to learn more about Ludlow Cares, be sure to visit
