    Best Buddies
    Best Buddies Middle Schools fosters one-to-one friendships between students with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Students with IDD are often isolated and left out of social activities. Best Buddies Middle Schools helps to create an inclusive school climate for students early on in their educational development.” (www.bestbuddies.org) During our meetings, students will have the opportunity to interact and socialize while participating in a variety of activities including arts & crafts, Zumba®, yoga, watching movies, bowling and more. Even more important, of course, is what our students will be able to learn from one another during our Best Buddies meetings: social skills, patience, tolerance, perseverance, acceptance, empathy, and so much more.

    Organizational Support
    Organization takes work!  Some students need help figuring out how to organize, while others have an established system but need the structure of a time and place to organize their things independently.  This club will help students organize their papers into folders and/or binders and organize digital files on their ipads.  Students will also work on creating individualized homework or study checklists. Mrs. Johnston is also flexible to meet students in flex times or other times by appointment.
    Advisor: Mrs. Sailer
