NHS, (National Honors Society) and is advised by Mrs. Reyes.  NHS has events to support many different causes. NHS decided to start going to the Buddy Walk a few years ago. The Buddy Walk is an event for children with Downs syndrome. This event takes place at the Niles Scrappers Stadium. The date of the event changes often yearly. These kids have a day for themselves including food, drinks, activities, etc. The biggest part of it is the walk. The Buddy Walk got its name for the walk that happens at the end. All the kids and participants walk around the baseball field taking pictures, and enjoying themselves.

The Buddy Walk is not just local, it goes on around the United States. NHS attended for Curtis Herman, a child born with Downs syndrome, that attends Jackson-Milton High School. They made signs for Curtis, and walked next to him.  Curtis’s Curcle of Friends has raised $658.47 for the DSAV Buddy Walk All Star Event.
