Greeley Central Best Buddies invites community to film festival March 27 to showcase student inclusion
Summary
Students and advisers from Greeley Central High School’s Best Buddies presented to the board and invited the public to two film festival screenings on March 27 that highlight inclusion and short student-made films under three minutes.
Representatives of Greeley Central High School’s Best Buddies club and the Arc of Weld County told the board that the organizations will host a film festival on March 27 to highlight student storytelling and inclusion.
Mary Gaffney, the intensive functional learning teacher at Greeley Central and the Best Buddies advisor, introduced student leaders who described the club’s work to foster one‑on‑one friendships, unified PE activities and game days that bring students of differing abilities together.
"Best Buddies is all about fostering one-on-one friendships and bringing people of all abilities together," a Best Buddies vice president told the board. Emmy, the club president and a senior at Greeley Central, said the film festival is one of the club’s favorite events and invited the community to attend. Gabby Luce, a junior and events coordinator, gave event details: screenings at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on March 27 in the Greeley Central auditorium. The festival will showcase short films (all under three minutes) around the theme "We are all in this together," according to Gabby Luce.
Board members thanked Best Buddies for their work on inclusion. The presentation focused on community invitation and student leadership rather than district funding or policy decisions.
