Best Buddies Summer Activities

This summer Best Buddies Club President Arabella Delgado, a junior, represented Valley Vista and DUSD at the Best Buddies Leadership Conference at Indiana University!

Arabella, alongside a Willow Canyon student, joined the Arizona delegation, which included high school student leaders, Best Buddies ambassadors, and Best Buddies Jobs participants from across the state.

Throughout the conference, she participated in leadership workshops focused on growing and strengthening Best Buddies clubs, increasing student involvement, and expanding the club’s impact both on campus and throughout the community. She also had the opportunity to hear inspiring stories from Best Buddies ambassadors, advocates, influencers, and supporters—including Miss America—who shared powerful messages about inclusion, leadership, and making a difference.

We are incredibly proud of Arabella for representing our school with enthusiasm and dedication. We look forward to seeing the new ideas and inspiration she brings back to continue growing our Best Buddies chapter and creating an even more inclusive school community!
