Anna-Lisa Bowans and Kata Garten formed a lasting bond starting at Longfellow Elementary through a school counselor's suggestion. Now seniors at City High, they reconnect via weekly lunches and help foster friendships between typical and special education students, reflecting a growing local effort.
Best Buddies at City High aims to raise 300 to send next year's student president to Best Buddies International Student Leadership Conference. Rowans leads a new local chapter as Bowans and Hayley Musser, 17, praise the program's impact on social inclusion and peer friendships. The group pairs Buddies with Peer Buddies, meeting twice monthly and expanding social circles for students with intellectual disabilities.
Anna-Lisa Rowans says this is the most rewarding group she’s been part of at City High. She recalls special education students in mainstream classes yet excluded from events like birthday gatherings as described on page 2J.
