Buddies Club at Marley Middle School
|
Yes, the friends of the Buddies Club at Marley Middle School may be diverse, loyal, committed and involved, but this is a truly special club founded by a dedicated special education teacher!
According to special education teacher, Alex Byland, "I started the Marley Buddies Club to provide an outlet for students with special needs to socialize with their grade-level peers and to build leadership skills among our group of mentors."
Mr. Byland also commented that "Campaigns on issues of tolerance, disability awareness and anti-bullying are much more powerful when led by the students as a grassroots movement."

A sincere thank you to the school staff, students and teachers who supported the project and donated the funds to RISE for Autism!
