FIND-A-FRIEND BOOTH

Article in “O” Magazine

“Saying you’re lonely can be embarrassing,” says Scott Bedley, a fifth grade teacher at Plaza Vista School in Irvine, California. “Our Just Say Hello club members came up with a way to help kids who say they have no one to talk to. They turned an old voting booth into a ‘find-a-friend’ center that they set up on the playground. Kids could walk in and talk about what they were feeling, and the ambassadors would match the child with another student based on their interests. It’s been a huge success—these kids are leaning to understand another person’s needs and display true empathy.”
