Memorial Buddy Bench in the name of Renee True to be installed at MECC
The tragic and unexpected loss of Renee True, a Middleboro resident and mini-bus driver with Middleborough Public Schools, has left a deep hole in the hearts of all who knew her. As family, friends and co-workers battle with these profound emotions, many have asked for a way to remember this amazing woman and the positive impact she’s had on the community.
The Middleboro Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) will be collecting donations to create a memorial for Renee. The recently updated FFA guidelines do not allow for a traditional memorial or marker to be placed on school property. Instead, the group presented a proposal for a "buddy bench" as a tribute, which was approved by both Superintendent Lynch and the Middleborough School Committee.
