Texas: Girl with Down syndrome crowned homecoming queen

Via THE DORKFISH EXPRESS




LIBERTY COUNTY, Texas—Becoming homecoming queen is a dream for many high school girls. But at Tarkington High School in Liberty County, some girls in the running worked to make sure one particular student was crowned.

A total of four students were vying to become the school’s homecoming queen, but they told their supporters to vote for Sydney Bloom. The 18-year-old student has Down syndrome.

It was an act of kindness and beauty, according to the school principal.
