On Friday, May 27, 2016 Benjamin Franklin School Principal Katrina Fisher and additional staff joined Quarles & Brady Milwaukee Office Managing Partner Katie Perhach and other firm attorneys to dedicate a second Buddy Bench on the school’s playground. The first bench was installed late last year. Quarles & Brady donated the benches, which are designed to help foster more friendships among students. These are some of the first Buddy Benches ever installed at an MPS location. Several students present at the dedication say they made new friends after using the bench.
Quarles & Brady donated the benches through its Quarles Cares program. The local law firm has an ongoing corporate partnership with Benjamin Franklin School, including supporting efforts to help students prevent bullying.
