SHINNING STARS
APRIL IN PARIS
46
GILROY • MORGAN HILL • SAN MARTIN
QUELLE NUIT! That’s French for “What
a Night!” And it certainly was for
many of our special needs students in
Morgan Hill, Gilroy and Hollister at the
second annual Shining Star Prom. This
year’s theme was April in Paris and
thanks to the endless generosity of our
sponsors, dozens of volunteers and the
students’ families, they were treated
to festivities that included an onsite
salon, boutonnieres and corsages, Eiffel
Tower key chains, a photo booth and
souvenir picture frames, a caricature
artist, delicious food and, of course,
hours of DANCING! Our communities
came together to show these kids that
they are, each and every one, a true
Shining Star.
