#VIRAL: High School Quarterback Takes Girl With Down Syndrome To Prom
My aunt has Down Syndrome, so seeing stories like this really warm my heart.
high school quarterback in Texas came up with a very clever plan to ask a student with Down Syndrome to the senior prom.
McCamey (TX) quarterback Adrian Alonzo decided to ask Cesyli Prieto to the dance. And it wasn't a mean -spirited prank...he just didn't want her to feel left out.
Adrian put five balloons in boxes, and wrote on each one so they spelled "Prom" with a question mark at the end. Then he had Cesyli open them one at a time.
The senior class then made Cesyli's night even more special...by electing her prom queen.
"It really made me proud, the fact that I'm a principal of a high school, and I knew this already, but that we had such great, caring thoughtful kids," said Principal Jay McWilliams. [NewsWest9.com]
