Best Buddies is a wonderful program where students help kids with special needs. They meet every B day, during activity period. This is a great way to give kids the chance to see that everyone is different, and see the different challenges that some people have to face. They do activities together and go on numerous field trips throughout the school year.
Right now this club is for 8th grade students only, but should 7th graders be allowed in? This is a fantastic program, but maybe it would be better if 7th graders were permitted to be buddies. This way they would have more experience for the following year when they would be in 8th grade.
Seventh graders are just going to have to wait a year until they are in 8th grade to be in Best Buddies. Overall let’s hope that Best Buddies keeps up the good work.
