Carving Out A Spot In Our Community

Bring On The Buddy Benches

After the success of the Buddy Bench project last spring, 91.5 The Beat approached us to once again be part of their next round of School Tour Buddy Benches.  We were so happy to see how well received they are at the local schools and gladly accepted the chance to sandblasted the cedar with donor recognition names and the BUDDY BENCH text for this next round of school visits.

Positive Community Involvement

Today the first of the fall Buddy Benches was awarded to St. Matthew Elementary School in Waterloo Ontario. One of our Sign Depot Facebook Fan Page members, Jennifer Beckett, sent us this emotional message regarding today’s presentation, along with a picture of her son sitting on the new St. Matthew’s Buddy Bench.

St. Matthew Catholic School in Waterloo had some sad times recently with the tragic passing of a student over the summer followed by the arson of the school’s only play structure a few days before school started. A visit from 91.5 The Beat and the donation of a Buddy Bench from The Sign Depot & Cedarland Lumber was just the warm hug this wonderful, caring school community needed! Thank you!

To see that this is going to make such a positive impact on the school that has experience such hardship recently is exactly the reason why community projects are so important.  To learn more about this project and what exactly a Buddy Bench does for the school’s students, visit our post  COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT – THE BUDDY BENCH.  To give your school a chance to receive a Buddy Bench of their own, enter the contest at 91.5 The Beat.
