Foran Thanksgiving Bash |
Paige and Jenna are Buddy Pairs at Joseph A. Foran High School. The two were matched this school year and have already become close friends. They share common interests such as shopping, going to the movies and playing games.
On Thursday, November 19th 2009, the pair attended the chapter Thanksgiving Bash. Paige and Jenna, along with other participants of the chapter, enjoyed dancing, pizza and goodies.
The fun didnt stop there, participant Linny Henry and her brother volunteered to play live music for the event.
The family band played several sets while the Buddy Pairs, participants and family members clapped and sung along. Streamers hung low and laughter filled the room.
Neighboring chapter, Jonathan Law joined the festivities. Buddy Shawn attended with his Peer Buddy Casey introducing her to the individuals he was familiar with in the room, making jokes and getting everyone involved with singing tunes from the High School Musical.
During the chapter event it was made clear that friendship filled the air, the mission was truly in action. |
