"The beautiful ladies and dapper gentlemen of the Franklin Best Buddies flaunted their gowns and suits during the promenade on Friday night, just a short time before the real dancing began.
This year’s prom took place at the Franklin Elks Lodge and was, as always, a bonding experience and great success with about 80 students in attendance.
Best Buddies is an international organization dedicated to ending the stigma towards those with intellectual and developmental disabilities by pairing them up with people without disabilities for outings and events like the Best Buddies Prom.
“It’s to give them an opportunity like every other high schooler,” said Miriam Connolly, adviser for Best Buddies. “Honestly, it’s a ball. They dance and dance. My typical students will tell me they have more fun at this than the other prom.”

"This fall, Franklin High School will be introducing a Unified Basketball program. As defined by the Special Olympics website, Unified Sports “Brings together ATHLETES with intellectual disabilities and athletes without intellectual disabilities (UNIFIED PARTNERS) to train and compete on the same team. Participants improve their physical fitness, sharpen their skills and learn acceptance and inclusion while participating in Unified Sports. A primary goal of Unified Sports is to equalize the ability level of Special Olympics athletes with their partners and to promote inclusion through team practice and competition.
Franklin’s Unified program will meet two days a week after school, in addition to playing 4-6 games against other teams in the Hockomock League or other regional teams. The first practice is Wednesday, September 13th and the season goes until the end of October.
“Last spring, Unified Track was very popular and we hope to continue that with Unified Basketball,” said senior Grace Sameski, who is helping with the program.
