Buddy Benches can be made by placing a sign on an existing bench.  They are also available commercially from School Outfitters (www.schooloutfitters.com)

Thank you for the post about the Buddy Bench!  It's such a simple intervention that has a powerful impact!  And it's just the type of thing that a PTA would be delighted to fund.  

I am going to do my best to promote the idea in the Anchorage School District and beyond.
