Kindness Matters : Christian Bucks and His Buddy Bench

This will be a quick post because the article says it all, but an adorable 2nd Grader named Christian Bucks who lives in Central PA has done something pretty impressive. He noticed that some of his friends were lonely at recess, and then approached the principal of his school with the idea of a Buddy Bench. Basically, if a kid is feeling lonely on the playground, they can go and sit on the Buddy Bench, at which point another child will come over and ask if they'd like to play or talk. It's a wonderful way for kids to spread kindness, and remind them to be both inclusive and empathetic. Nice job, Roundtown Elementary, way to implement a great idea! Here's hoping more adults follow Christian's great example, and extend some kindness to someone who may be in need of a friend.
