So happy that we could get together right after spring break. We had one of our favorite sandwiches lunch and a great Buddies’ egg hunt. Who doesn’t love Easter-themed desserts?

We just love love getting together every month with our Buddies. We have February behind us and we have our March coffee and donuts scheduled. Here are some February photos of our last get together for Valentines Day pizza.

What a fun time having breakfast for lunch! Enjoyed a pre-holiday get together with friends and decorated the cone trees perfectly! Here’s wishing all Beach Buddies a wonderful holiday season!

Coffee, hot chocolate, and donuts with sprinkles. Add some Beach Buddies and you’ve got a great start to a school day!

What group has the best monthly meeting on campus? You’re correct…The Beach Buddies! The Halloween themed luncheon was so much fun and the Mummy Wrap contest was the best ever!

FBHS Beach Buddies had coffee and Kringle this morning. Nothing beats starting the school day with friends, coffee, and special pastries. It’s great being a Beach Buddy!

We are almost at mid October and realized we have not shared our September photos with everyone. The Beach Buddies are going full throttle in making sure everyone gets together regularly to enjoy friendships and being in the best club on campus! Here’s too a great 2023-2024 school year!

A great opportunity to spotlight Beach Buddies and to encourage kindness and appreciation of our similarities and differences…

The last Beach Buddies’ lunchtime get-together of the 2023 school year is in the books and what a great day it was to celebrate two FBHS 2023 graduates, Q and Maya! It was fun to get together before the official start of summer break, have pizza and donuts, create jewelry together, and make memories with our friends. We also recognize Mrs. Nobles who was instrumental in starting Beach Buddies at FBHS thirteen years ago! She is very much appreciated for everything she has done for us and FBHS and we wish her a wonderful retirement.

March already? Well, it certainly is not too early to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with our friends! Today we enjoyed ham, turkey, and cheese sliders! Definitely a new favorite lunch for the Beach Buddies. Lucky Charms and Rice Krispie treats for dessert…yes, please! The St. Patrick’s Day BINGO was a real hit especially with the end of the rainbow multi-color pens to the winners! Everyone got to create their own bookmark by scratching their own designs onto the solid back bookmarks. Here’s to a great Spring Break that will be coming up soon for all our Beach Buddies!

Oh, we do love our February luncheon each school year! We love our celebration of friendships and the chance to get together and create special valentines. And this year’s luncheon fell on National Pizza Day giving us the opportunity to have one of our favorite lunch choices…pizza! We had our traditional Snowball Basketball Shootout which never disappoints! All in all, it’s a great time to be a Beach Buddy!

Our Story



What is Beach Buddies?
Beach Buddies aims to promote friendships and peer mentoring between students with Intellectual Developmental Disabilities and their high school peers. Too often, students with IDD are not included in the day to day high school experiences. Beach Buddies works towards the inclusion, understanding and acceptance of all students. We sincerely believe and promote that “we are all more alike than different”. Each of us brings a unique and wonderful genius to the world. We want our students to take the time to learn about what their fellow classmates have to offer. We do this through monthly themed lunches, morning coffee and donuts, and various activities.

For more information or if you would like to support the club in any way contact the school or Lori Venerdi at [email protected].
