Lisa Gipson A Night to Remember Prom — Time to Register Registration is now open for A Night to Remember Prom, an annual event for students ages 15–22 with special needs, which is April 24 this year. Each “honored guest” is partnered with a student host (also age 15–22) who ensures their partner is having fun, staying hydrated, and if needed, taking breaks in the quiet room. Volunteer registration for adults and student hosts begins March 1. Positions fill quickly!
