ORLANDO, FL. – A group of high school students gathered for a photo in front of the Cinderella Castle at the center of Magic Kingdom. One of those students, Kyla Decambre, eagerly grabbed the purple “Georgia” sign and held it over her head. She smiled, and the moment was captured forever.
One student was missing from the group. She could be found in the car, rounding the curve. Claire Jefferson, a student from Warner Robins, was selected as one of the two Dreamers to sit with this year’s DREAMbassador, Malia Baker, for the ceremonial ride in the parade.
The first day of the annual gathering of 100 high school students from around the country to the world’s happiest place happened today.

This year marks the program’s 19th year…
