Former Eagle Point student creates Buddy Bench Jacque England, a former Eagle Point student, made a Buddy Bench for his Eagle Scout project. Student parent volunteers Andrea La Point and Joe Gray painted the bench yellow and brown. Then all those creative Eagle Point 1st graders along with their 5th grade buddies decorated the bench with their hand prints. Now when any child feels
unsure of where to go on the playground or is maybe having a bad day or just plain feeling shy, all they need to do is take a seat on the Buddy Bench and a new friend will appear to invite them to join in and play.
