Wearing a dress to the prom

You know how I always say I am proud of my students.

Well, Deb was one of my all-time favorite kids, and she seems to be doing OK without me, ;)

Of course, had I been there, I would have been in the middle of the whole thing.

Here's the link and a brief summary.

PEABODY - Like most senior girls, Peabody Veterans Memorial High School student Deborah Lawson has been busy picking out a dress for the prom and securing a date for the big day.

But the twist to Lawson's fairy tale is that she wanted to bring a male friend to the dance -- one who would like to wear a dress as well.

PVMHS Principal Ed Sapienza reportedly balked at the notion and denied Lawson's request.

Ultimately, Lawson, 17, won the battle with the school to bring her friend to the dance when School Superintendent Milton Burnett gave her his OK shortly after Sapienza said no. The friend will wear one of Lawson's own dresses.

I can hear evilnicola squeeing.
