The Impact of Kiwanis

We received this amazing note from Susan Nations at Wilkinson Elementary:

"I wanted to share a “shout out” that one student sent to another this morning on our WES morning news show. In case it’s hard to read: “To Parker from Braiden: You’re my best friend. I know when I’m sad you always come cheer me up. When I’m on the Buddy Bench you come and ask, ‘do you want to come play?’ That’s why I want to be your best friend.”

To further explain…our kids have started using their behavior incentive points to “buy” these shout outs to share on the news. This is amazing in itself as they have the opportunity to “shop” for school supplies and other items at the store with their points.

I thought this was SO BEAUTIFUL and such a powerful example of the ripple effect of Kiwanis donation of the Buddy Bench! By the way, I recorded the news on Facebook Live this morning and it’s in the first 4 minutes that they share this. I tagged your club in the comments so you could see it there as well.

I hope you’ll be able to share with your club this incredible message. "
