Students will travel this year to TWO different international locations! The first will be to Germany during Spring Break '08, and the second is to Greece in summer '08. Our global economy is becoming increasingly competitive, and students with international experience are a plus!

Deposit deadline is approaching quickly, so act now!
Can't go but want to help?
If you know of any business who might like to make a donation to support our organization, please have them call Ginger at 407-891-3100, x08649. You can also help by sending your Village Inn receipts to Ginger Kirchmyer at SCHS, as they donate 10% of the price of the meal to our group. This is an ongoing fundraiser, so send them in everytime you go!

Best Buddies
Best Buddies is off to a great start this year. Our President Brittney Creech picked up our Outstanding chapter award at the National Leadership Conference from Anthony Kennedy Shriver, the founder. We were one of 22 chapters in the nation to be selected. Our newly elected officers are: Michelle Gelfert, Kelsey Kaminski, Lauren Goldinger, Amanda Eichenauer, and Melissa Bender. We have over 100 members through the Early Childhood Education program and National Honor Society along with the buddies. We had a very successful fundraiser – a car wash at Walmart making almost $1000. The peer buddies and their buddies washed lots of cars and had a great time. The mission of our chapter is to provide friendship and socialization for students with intellectual disabilities and we truly enjoy their friendship.
