Harvey School News
On Friday, Feb. 10, Harvey Upper School students helped to make one night special for individuals with special needs. Twelve student ambassadors volunteered to be "buddies" at a local Night To Shine event at Grace Farms in New Canaan, Connecticut. Night To Shine is a worldwide prom night experience held each year for people ages 14 and older with special needs.
The event involves a red carpet entrance, dancing, karaoke, a catered dinner, and a crowning ceremony where every honored guest receives a crown or tiara. To make the evening a success, thousands of volunteers like our Harvey students serve as each guest's buddy to keep up the enthusiasm on the dance floor, serve food, and make the guests feel like a King or Queen that night.
"The students danced the night away," said Jessica Vicente, student ambassador coordinator at Harvey. "They were amazing!"
Thank you, Harvey Student Ambassadors - Mariona Amat, Ryan Byrne, Patrick Cuneo, Wesley Elkind, Dylan Kluge, Emi Knauer, Talya Langer, Maeve Lazzaro, Jen Mena, Lucas Vicente-Ruiz, Jacob Weisberger, and Mollie Weisberger - for making this night so special for the honored guests.
