Weedsport’s NHS Students Help Out at Buddy Walk

The NHS decided to participate in the 2013 Buddy walk in support of Down Syndrome. The NHS members collected pledges in order to donate money to the Down Syndrome Association of CNY. In the end they were able to donate $870. NHS members, some other WHS students, and a few community members gathered on Sunday September 29th at Long Branch Park in Liverpool to attend the walk. It was the fifteenth annual walk, leaving it very crowded. Unlike some other walks, The Buddy Walk is a very happy, and festive activity. So many different people attend, and it is a very fun time. There are picnics going on, along will all sorts of games, and activities to play with the buddies.  With about 40 people walking from Weedsport, it was easy to spot us out with our yellow, and blue shirts in honor of Down Syndrome Awareness. Thank you to everyone who pledged, and participated in any way. It was truly appreciated!
