Best Buddy Program


I love the Best Buddy Program that Chaffey high School has. Queens Quest, the Miss Community of Upland Pageant founders, support the Best Buddy Program at Chaffey. The money they collect from pageant entries goes to funding the Best Buddies. Not all of the Queens were invited to go present the check to the buddies but Chloe was. I was excited for her to go even though I had to pull her out of school for it. I wanted her to see the other kids, most of which have Down's Syndrome, and learn more about being friends to everyone. This ended up being a really good experience for her. She got to walk around Chaffey High School during school hours and see all types of kids. Chloe says now she knows what High School is and can't wait to go. "It's like a big party," she told Preston. While we were there they had a radio station blasting music promoting a dance at Chaffey during their lunchtime. There was quite a gathering of people getting down that Chloe got to watch for a little while. While in the Best Buddy classroom Chloe was able to talk to lots of buddies. All of which told her she was a real princess and couldn't stop touching and admiring her crown. So cute! Chloe LOVED it! Here is a picture of the girls with their favorite Best Buddy, Carol!
