PGHS Student & Teacher Volunteers at Tim Tebow's Night to Shine Prom
On Friday, February 9th, 2018, Mrs. Reinhart and I attended the Tim Tebow’s Night to Shine Prom. The Night to Shine is a prom for all special education students and adults to honor their amazing personalities and accomplishments. During this night, Mrs. Reinhart and I were each teamed up with 2 female guests and we were their date for the night. We made sure they enjoyed their time there and that they could let loose and be themselves. We LOVED spending our night with them. It was something amazing to see their faces light up when the music started playing, someone got up on the stage and sang, or even taking funny photos in the photo booth. It warms your heart to be in an atmosphere with other individuals who care about making everyone feel loved, equal, and needed. We were honored to be apart of something so extraordinary.
