Spread the word to end the word. The life skills program here at North works to enhance the student’s abilities and life after high school.   The life skills students also have the opportunity to partake in the Best Buddies program. Best Buddies is a hands on club that focuses on creating friendships. Students sign up to be in the club and get paired with a buddy and create a life long friendship.
