MEDINA – Orleans/Niagara BOCES would like to issue a huge thank you to Community Action of Orleans & Genesee’s Main Street Corner Thrifts, Gifts and More for giving our students a “Cinderella” moment!
Store manager Cassie Healy brought in prom dresses for our students at the Orleans Career and Technical Education Center and the Orleans Learning Center so they would feel like the a million dollars at their proms.
“It looks like we had 29 girls get dresses, which would make it the most successful event we had to date,” Healy said. “We definitely hope to come back next year!”
Orleans Learning Center School Counselor Melissa Gailie said, “We can’t thank Cassie enough for the dresses. It was such a wonderful experience for all of the students!”
