On March 3rd, 25 members of our WHS Best Buddies chapter got to go to the Friendship Ball at the Aqua Turf. The Friendship Ball is a yearly event held by the CT Best Buddies Organization in which members of the different chapters get to dress up and enjoy a prom-like dance. This year’s theme was candy land, so some people had candy themed ties or other accessories. A new thing that was added this year was a 3-D Photo Booth. The highlight of the ball, according to Ms. McBride,one of the Best Buddies Advisors, was the fabulous dancing of Sebastian Joseph!
