relentlessly to challenged or needy students. The three inspire others
as they do. Denton, 18,of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
in Parkland, focuses on her special Best Buddies every day, socializing
with them at school or calling and texting them. She is zealous about
building community and statewide awareness of Best Buddies and putting
together disability awareness training.

has become increasingly a cause for concern. Statistics which compare

Hispanic students. This education phenomenon has existed for years and
now has reached a point where it is not only being voiced by education
professionals, but resonated all the way to our nation’s Oval Office.
