Best Buddies is a club that is built on the solid grounds of friendship, making it ta very meaningful club at Westborough High School. Best Buddies is a non profit organization dedicated to creating a one to one friendship with kids with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The club meets every other Wednesday where upcoming events are discussed and also there is a chance to talk to the peer buddies to see how their friendships are going.

Recently, the club traveled to Tougas Farms where the group went apple picking. Participants enjoyed reaching for apples and eating apple cider doughnuts. Last weekend the club had a booth a homecoming where the plan was to sell delicious cupcakes and hopefully attract people to the amazing club, but the rain put a damper on the event. An upcoming plan is to travel to Pump it Up soon!

What is really important about the club is creating that one to one friendship that is stated in the Best Buddies international mission statement. Whether or not you receive the incredible opportunity to be a matched pair doesn’t matter, everyone gets to hang out and enjoy each others company during the group events and everyone loves having fun together!
