J. E. Woodard Elementary School has taken a heartfelt step to honor the memory of Mr. Will Spiess, a cherished member of its community. The funds raised during last year’s Wildcat Walk fundraiser were used in installing two Buddy Benches on the school’s playground as a tribute to Mr. Spiess.
Over the recent break, the benches were installed, and yesterday morning, the school welcomed Mr. Spiess’s family to visit and view one of the benches. The moment was a poignant reminder of the profound impact he had on the lives of those around him.
“Will touched countless lives with his kindness, warmth, and friendship. He was truly a friend to everyone, and his spirit will always have a place here at Woodard Elementary,” the school posted on Facebook.
A formal unveiling ceremony is planned, allowing the school community to gather and celebrate Mr. Spiess’s enduring legacy.
