Free State Pride: "We hail thy Lawrence Free State/Your legacy will never end"

Hi everyone! So I meant to write about this yesturday, but something happened that made me very proud of my school. A couple days ago the senior class got to vote for homecoming canidates. Its an all senior thing at free state high school. So anyways, they come up with a big list where everyone has a number and it all happens threw scantron. Anyways when people were looking through the list to find the sweetest boy, who they though deserved to win. He wasen't on the list. Looking through it some more, they found 3 other kids who were not on the list as well. Why weren't they on? My school was outraged. You want to know what makes these kids special enough to cause such big of a buzz? These are all special needs kids, kids with physical and mental disabilities.

What I love about my school is that we noticed they were left out. Others schools would have looked right past those students. All this freddies friends things that have been going on, have been great. It made people open their eyes and realize that these are people too who need a lot of love.

This girl in choir, a cheerleader who looks just like Taylor Swift was in full uniform because it was a game day. She came up to the front of the class and said, "you know how we all have so much baggage we talk about always leaving at the door before choir? Owen has more baggage then all of us put together but he goes through the day with a smile on his face and is nice to everyone." She started crying. The whole choir class, including me signed a pettition.

At the end of the day there was an announcment about why the kids were left off. It was some lame excuse like they had physical limitatons and woulden't be able to participate. It involves just getting a crown on your head, they totally can! But anyways they finally decided to vote again come monday. I'm proud my of my school for that. Your schools should make sure everyones involved too :)
