Those hanging around the High School for Freshmen orientation or school picture day on August 27th were in store for a sweet treat. For the second year in a row, the High School's chapter of Best Buddies, an organization dedicated to fostering one-on-one relationships with people that have intellectual and developmental disabilities, sponsored a flavored ice truck in the school parking lot.
The Kona Ice Truck, which helps various community organizations fundraise by donating a portion of their proceeds, was on hand to help the Best Buddies raise money for their various activities that they host throughout the year including their annual dance and Spread the Word to End the Word, a week dedicated to spreading awareness about the harmful effects of using derogatory language to describe those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
