- Art instructor, Malia Green: “There was a bunch of people who came up to me and were like, ‘Oh, this is my first time ever going to a prom.”
- Carly Sorensen attended her prom at Abraham Lincoln and told me helping others at the all abilities prom is fun: “You could just tell that they were happy and were having a great time.”
