A Different Kind Of Prom

Our kids may have severe disabilities, but they also have hopes and dreams like kids everywhere. This weekend, they got to experience a milestone event that teenagers everywhere look forward to - their senior prom.

And please check out St. Mary's blog for some more information.

Even though they can't express in words how much it meant to them, just look at their faces to see their joy (many thanks to the young people of Norfolk Academy for their generous participation in this special event) . . .
