March is Best Buddies International Awareness Month. Best Buddies is a Crotched Mountain Foundation partner and we’re proud to join in the message that inclusion matters!
CMF Kids is thrilled to be partnering with our friends at New Hampshire Best Buddies to bring more friendship programs to our district partner schools as well as other schools across the state. Friendship programs provide opportunities for students with and without disabilities to develop meaningful relationships.
Why Inclusion Matters
- Meaningful relationships and social opportunities in and outside of school
- Increased appreciation and acceptance of individual differences
- Greater academic and IEP outcomes
- Fosters a school culture of everyone learning and growing together
To date, CMF Kids has supported Best Buddies programs at Manchester Memorial High School, Bishop Guertin High School, Amherst Elementary School – with more on the way!
Your support of CMF Kids is helping to make a difference in the lives of children and young people live, learn, and thrive in school and in the community!
