‘TIS THE SEASON Using a brush, Peyton Collier, senior, paints ornaments with Camille Renwald, young adult of the STEP program, at the Best Buddies Holiday Event.

Recently celebrating their Dec. 12 holiday event, Best Buddies made ornaments, decorated festive cookies and watched a movie. This was the club’s fourth event of the year, with sponsors Ms. Hannah Fus, ASL teacher, and Mrs. Anne Copp, math teacher, having organized one per month since September, alongside club members.

“It was a ton of fun and the cookies were delicious,” Max Lindenmayer, senior and peer buddy, said. “(Best Buddies) is fun, it’s easy, it’s not hard to do and it just makes you feel good.”
