On May 9th, the Best Buddies Club at Proctor threw an unforgettable school dance, planned entirely by students, for students!

Since February, club members and their buddies had been meeting monthly to bring this event to life. From picking the theme to curating the music, food, and decorations, these students led every step of the way. In the days before the dance, general education students even volunteered their study halls and lunch breaks to help with prep.

On the big day, they transformed the space, celebrated side by side, and stayed after to clean up - all in the spirit of inclusion, friendship, and leadership.

The Proctor Best Buddies Club members dedication helped create more than just a great event; they helped build a stronger, more accepting school community.
