Special Education Prom March 30, 2016

Sonja Meek and Phil Coffman shared the success of their program, the Special Education Prom, held each year for the last 10 years for Eastmont and Wenatchee High School special ed students.

The Prom was started more than ten years ago when two teachers from Wenatchee and Eastmont decided to work together to expand the dance curriculum for students into a shared social experience.  The Prom has now grown to 14 school districts attending last year!

Prom partiers get to experience a DJ, pictures, decoration, limo rides and lunch.  The teachers have collected dresses and formal wear for students. Student volunteers decorate the gym.  Several businesses contribute their services.

What a wonderful experience for a deserving group of students.  Let's open our checkbooks and make donations. Make checks payable to Eastmont Special Education Prom.  Kathleen will deliver her check to Eastmont High School and is happy to take yours.
