JUST LIKE OLD TIMES Looking over at his peers, senior Lorenzo Piña holds his box with decorations consisting of construction paper and stickers. Members of Best Buddies made boxes to put their Valentine’s in on their Valentine’s Day party on Feb 9. “Best Buddies is very important club because it’s fun for the special needs kids and other kids,” Piña said.

Munster’s Best Buddies warms the court for their annual Best Buddies Bowl, set to take place on March 6 at 6:30 p.m. in the fieldhouse. The event is free to attend to all those interested, but the club is gracefully accepting $5 donations by any participants. All proceeds will go toward the Special Olympics.

“I’m looking forward to this event because it’s fun to see the entire community come out and support our buddies take on the school’s football team,” junior and  Best Buddies co-president Kyle Thometz said.

For junior Trey Johnson, the Best Buddies bowl is an opportunity to showcase his strategy toward victory.

“I’m excited for the dance party and the football game,” Johnson said. “I have a lot of fans and I know how to win at football.”

Last year, The Best Buddies stormed the hallways, marking the first tradition of the Best Buddies Bowl’s stampede before their big game. Best Buddies sponsor Linda Ramos highlights how the cheers and cries of the student body is meaningful for the players.

“A lot of the students enjoyed getting that recognition from the rest of the school,” Ramos said. “It was very motivating leading up until the Buddy Bowl. This is another population that’s a part of their school and they’re welcome to come in and enjoy this time with us.”

SO FRESH, SO CLEAN Presenting to Kristin LaFlech, junior Dhara Patel pitches her DECA project on a potential deodorant product. Her group members plan to have a booth selling their product, Shield, in a few weeks to have students test the product. “People should buy this product because everyone deals with sweat stains at least once and there’s no product out there that really eliminates that problem completely,” Patel said. “So our idea is to create a three step ‘skincare’ routine by taking a consultation, so the ingredients are personalized to your needs."
