It has only been a couple weeks since Stanhope Elmore held its prom. But even before the prom, students were already looking at creating something special for Stanhope’s Super Kids.
Students in special education have always been welcomed to prom; however, there were no dances specifically for those students. Seniors Samantha Wilson, Lauren McElrath and Mia Smith created the Super Kids Prom for students with special needs to have their own prom night.

The three students have won the FCCLA state completion with planning for the event and will travel to Seattle for nationals.
