Buddy Bench unveiling at Laura C. Saunders Elementary

Join My Buddy Bench Project for the unveiling of a Buddy Bench at Laura C. Saunders Elementary School. This initiative has been made possible through the generous donation from Doing Good Together™ (DGT), which is empowering families to raise children who care and contribute.

Let's come together to celebrate kindness and community with this special event. The Buddy Bench is a beacon of kindness, a symbol of inclusivity and friendship, where everyone is welcome.

Be a part of a heartwarming occasion as we unveil this Buddy Bench and spread kindness throughout the school. See you there!

• Time: 9:00 AM
• Location: Laura C. Saunders Elementary School. 505 SW 8th St, Homestead, FL 33030

In addition to the unveiling, Licensed Psychologist, Dr. Rina Santiago-Guia & Founder of Monarch All Health will deliver a special talk on Mental Health Wellness and will discuss practical tools and insights to promote well-being, resilience, and community support.

We invite members of the media, community leaders, parents, children, and local residents to join us for this special occasion as we work together to foster a more inclusive, compassionate community.

“As the proud principal of Laura C. Saunders Elementary, I have dedicated over 25 years to education and have served as an administrator since 2013. It brings me great joy to see our school receive an artistic Buddy Bench, a symbol of inclusivity, friendship, and creativity. This bench will not only provide a welcoming space for students to connect but will also serve as a reminder that kindness and support are always within reach. We are grateful for this meaningful addition to our school community, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on our students for years to come." - Principal Dr. Kamila Lillie-Johnson.
