Monticello High School in Eastern Iowa has some great kids. Annie Schlarmann, a junior wasn't asked to the prom and she was heartbroken. She really wanted to go but was a little embarrassed to go alone.
One of the girls who goes to school with Annie named Maria McCarthy says "We heard that Annie didn't have anyone to go with for prom, and we thought it would be so fun to make her night special. So, we all got together, and we got to do so much fun stuff, like we went out to eat, we went axe throwing, and then we got ice cream."
Annie's mother, Sue Schlarmann says "As the mother of a child with Down syndrome, this was everything I could hope for, When you have a child with a disability, you're always hoping they're going to get the same opportunities as other children. To have Annie's friends show such genuine kindness and invite her to prom is truly something special."
Annie herself tells KWWL-TV "I had a lot of fun last night because my friends are nice to me, and I love them. They mean a lot to me."
