Prom night made magic for King and Queen Steven and Candice

Last Thursday night, June 4, delivered one of the best surprises we’ve ever had.
Candice asked Steven to the prom.
Some of the Best Buddies invited them to attend their pre-prom party, travel in the limo, and sit with them for the evening. We were overjoyed and very appreciative of their kind gestures.
This was going to be a magical evening.
Never would we have imagined that Candice and Steven would be honoured with the titles of Prom King and Queen!
There are no words to describe our emotions as parents who sometimes worry that their children with special needs might not fit in. We are so impressed with the students at Dr. G. W. Williams Secondary School who found so many way to include our children and to make them feel accepted. In fact, they feel like royalty!
We’ve always felt very fortunate to live in such a wonderfully inclusive community where neighbours, teachers and students have welcomed and accepted our children.
Thank you so much to the students who have shown a maturity well beyond their years. When we reflect on the future of our world, we feel at ease knowing that you will be the leaders of tomorrow.
Your parents and teachers are also to be commended on the incredible job they have done, helping you to become amazing young adults. They can be very proud of the people you have become – just as we are so proud of the people our son and daughter have become because of the support of people like you.
