For my Senior Summit project I will be doing a research project on the effects the Buddy Bench has on elementary school students' social lives. Then I will use what I learn to try to get other elementary schools to use Buddy Benches. I will be talking to teachers at Hunters Glen Elementary about the bench I had put at the school. This will allow me to learn how my project turned out in 8th grade and how it could benefit other schools.

I am doing this because for my 8th grade project I put a Buddy Bench at Hunters Glen Elementary and I am curious if the bench had any sort of impact on the students. I would use this to help me know whether or not this would be a good thing to put into other schools. To get this information I will be talking to some of the teachers at Hunters Glen and the lunch monitors about the bench and how it affects the students.

I want to do this project because I feel it will greatly benefit the community. This project will mostly benefit elementary school students because it will help their social lives and allow them to maybe make friends easier. This will allow for an overall better life at school and home.

I recently finished collecting the survey results from 18 staff members at Hunters Glen Elementary on the effectiveness of the buddy bench. I found that most teachers think the bech works well but think that the addition of a sign would benefit how well the students can use the bench. I have also noticed the students are not taught how to use the bench very often only most results showed students were only taught occationally or once every semester. Students should be better informed on how to use the bench and why it is so important to some students.
