Guerin Catholic Best Buddies
On the evening of October 25th in the Media Center, Guerin Catholic's Best Buddies club entertained our buddies from The Independence Academy with our annual Halloween Party. The Independence Academy is a school for autistic students grades 5-12. We buddy with their high school students. Several of our students have one-to-one buddies; others just attend or help with the planned activities. Students attended our costume party, and enjoyed such activities as "pin the eyes on the pumpkin", freeze dance, and the ever popular musical chairs. The refreshments were plentiful and the decorations were appropriately spooky. Much credit goes to Maddie Nickander and her committee for their great party planning, Kelsey Fox for her tireless job as president keeping us organized, and last, but not least, the students who have committed to being buddies to the students from Independence Academy. These kind, caring individuals, keep in touch with their buddies on a weekly basis and often get together with them outside of school activities. They give up their time to be a blessing to others. I know I couldn't be prouder of these fine young men and women. They represent Guerin Catholic well.
