The Rhea County Chapter of the Best Buddies program seeks to promote inclusion for students by pairing them with a "best buddy" that they are able to participate in activities with throughout the year. Through the program, students of all abilities, shapes, and sizes can have fun together as they show others around them that every person needs a best buddy!
