Maddy brought a proposal for the bench to the PTC and saw the project through to completion. She got the idea from a video shown by her teacher Melissa Clark when she was in third grade.

“What I loved about what Maddy did is that she really motivated people to know that the kids really needed this,” Clark shared. “This is what they wanted to have in their school to alert the kids who need friendships.”
