In the summer of 2019, our club added a new project called Buddy Benches. One school, one bench each year was the initial goal, with the hope that every elementary school in Loudon County would eventually have a Buddy Bench.
Eaton Elementary was the only school left in Loudon County without a Buddy Bench. That ended today! Julia Hurley, Just Homes Group Realtor, has graciously sponsored a number of the benches. She made today’s presentation possible.
Highland Park Elementary School in Lenoir City was the first school to join the program with K through 4th grade students participating. Elementary schools Steekee, Philadelphia , Lenoir City, Greenback were next to receive benches. Lenoir City Intermediate/Middle School, Loudon Elementary School, Loudon High School followed. Tomorrow Vonore Elementary School will received their Buddy Bench.
The ultimate goal of a Buddy Bench is to help reduce social isolation. If a child is having a difficult day, they sit on the bench. It is a signal to other students and staff that they need a "buddy". Children are taught to sit together on the benches. No one should be left sitting alone.
Buddy Benches are made from plastic bottle caps that are not recyclable. It takes 20,000 plastic tops to make a bench. Our club collects the bottlecaps, members sort and weigh them. One of our members delivers the caps to Greentree Plastics in Evansville, IN, who converts the caps into a bench via an extrusion process!
Our members came together to celebrate the upcoming holiday season. What a fun filled evening complete with laughter, camaraderie, great conversations, excellent food, a sing-a-long, elves and Santa Claus. ... See MoreSee Less
