Students at an elementary school in Wisconsin have found a unique way to show fellow students they care.
Students at Eagle Bluff Elementary School in Onalaska have created "buddy benches." The idea: students who feel lonely at recess can head over to a bench and the other kids will see them and ask them to play.
A handful of students gave up their recess time to paint three benches. Teachers say the "buddy bench" gives students a new outlet to better understand those in need, and they hope the idea catches on.
