Twenty-one honored guests attended DeKalb County High School’s third special needs prom held on May 6th.
The students in Service Society at DCHS came together to transform the school cafeteria in preparation for the event,” said teacher Sara Young. “Creations by Donna donated boutineers and corsages for each honored guest. The students enjoyed a full meal provided by Kilgore’s, Lipstick Pig, and KFC. DCHS culinary arts students served everyone their meal, including a cake and cupcakes donated by Teresa Jones. Adventure Limo out of Murfreesboro gave DCHS a great deal on a party bus so that students could enjoy a limo ride around the town. Chris Moore deejayed and the students had a great time on the dance floor. The decorations were purchased through donations made by the community. The donations were also used to purchase a crown for each honored guest. Watching them get their time in the spotlight and get crowned is one of the highlights of the night,” Young said.
“DCHS Service Society would like to thank everyone in the community for the support they gave. Whether you donated money, time, services, or helium like the Dollar General on Short Mountain Highway did, it all came together to make a special night for our guests,” Young concluded.
