Buddies Program

Our Buddies Program helps to bridge the social gap between students with intellectual & developmental disabilities by establishing friendships & a sense of school community here at Del Val. Our Buddies Program arranges in-school activities, afterschool activities, field trips & special events for our members. Peer Buddies are encouraged to come to E101 (our MD classroom) & socialize with our students during lunch. Everything we do brings the school closer together.
