Today brought a truly special, full-circle moment to Mrs. Mason’s UPK classroom at Apalachin Elementary School.
She shares with us that her amazing high school helper, David, who was once a little AES student himself, is now a high school senior! Today, he pulled off the sweetest "promposal" and asked his friend, Natalie, to the prom right in the UPK classroom.
The UPK kiddos and Mrs. Mason were absolutely thrilled and honored to be a part of such a special event.
"Watching former students grow into confident, kind, and thoughtful young adults is truly one of the best parts of what we do." — Mrs. Mason.
We hope you both have the most incredible time making memories at prom! 💃🕺🎉
