About Our Club
Our Best Buddies chapter officially opened in April 2024 at Diamond Middle School. We are a part of the global Best Buddies organization and we meet only during WIN blocks. Easy club to commit to and enjoy!
We use our google classroom to post announcements and upcoming club meetings and student hangouts. The class code is bzwiwvq
Please officially sign up to be a club member at this link - bestbuddies.org/join to join our middle school chapter
How It Works
We meet 2x per month during WIN blocks for "club meetings". You can sign up on MyFlex. These are open to new students at any time.
We meet an additional 1-2x per month during WINS for optional "student hangouts". These are for students wanting extra social time together. These are only for current Best Buddies members.
Students can also match in a 1:1 friendship which requires extra socializing requirements to maintain a positive and consistent friendship. Advisors can explain about this more.
STUDENTS CAN JOIN ANYTIME DURING THE YEAR! Just sign up for one of our "club meetings" on MyFlex. Please speak with an advisor before attending so we can answer any questions.
Best Buddies' Mission
