Downes Elementary would like to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you to Girl Scout Troop 778 for their incredible generosity in creating and donating a beautiful Buddy Bench to our school. It was an absolute pleasure to meet the members of Troop 778, and we are deeply grateful for their time, effort, and commitment to fostering kindness and inclusivity in our community.

The Buddy Bench will play a vital role in promoting friendship and ensuring that every student has a place to feel welcomed and supported. This thoughtful contribution reflects the values of kindness and unity that we strive to instill in our students, and it will leave a lasting impact on our school for years to come.

We also appreciate the wonderful write-ups and the opportunity to share the story of this meaningful project with our school community.

Thank you again, Girl Scout Troop 778! Your generosity and spirit of service has truly made a difference at Downes Elementary. We are looking forward to a wonderful school year filled with friendship, inclusivity, and the positive energy you have helped to create.
