Best Buddies Fundraiser

The Best Buddies Photo Booth!

We are excited to share that our Best Buddies Photo Booth was very successful. Throughout the week we had a photo booth up outside the lunch room. Students could dress up in silly costumes and hats to take photos with their friends.

Our DD/DLP class and the Best Buddies Group made posters, announcements and went around to different lunch tables to advertise the cause.

It was a ton of fun, and we are proud of all the people who contributed and helped! Thanks everyone!
