Best Buddies
Advisors: Gaye Smith, Dawn Chappell
The North Middlesex chapter of Best Buddies is a club focused on developing a group of friends to spend time with. Some of these friends will be NM students with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Best Buddies hosts twice-monthly social events in school and outside of school. We welcome all students to join us for fun and friendship!
Best Buddies International is a non-profit organization with over 2500 school chapters in the US and 50 countries around the world. In addition to school-based social inclusion, Best Buddies International creates opportunities for rewarding careers, independent living, leadership roles, and lifelong friendships for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We hope some of those lifelong friendships will start right here at NM!

Model United Nations Club
Advisor: Kathy Penney
The Model United Nations Club participates in at least two Model UN conferences each school year. Members are assigned as a diplomat to a specific UN council. Each member then researches from an assigned country's perspective, writes a position paper and prepares to debate. Skills gained are confidence, public speaking, diplomacy, research skills and how to effectively compromise. The Model UN is also a great resume builder for college and careers and members can continue with this club in college!
