Tonight the girls and I attended the most inspirational and heartwarming event, Miss Marvelous. The evening celebrates the inner and outer beauty of 12 young ladies with special needs that attend the 3 high schools. Each girl had a chance to take the stage in formal wear (escorted by very sweet boys) and to perform a talent. Their challenges varied from Down Syndrome to Muscular Dystrophy to Autism, but they all shared contagious smiles and and sweet hearts. They loved seeing themselves on the big screens and loved the applause and encouragement from the audience of proud parents and fellow classmates. At the end of the evening, they were each presented a sash, crown and flower bouquet. We all left with such happy hearts and such a sense of pride in our community and schools that helped honor these beautiful young ladies!
