Residents of Erie Homes for Children and Adults (EHCA) left it all on the dance floor at their spring adult prom.
The prom was hosted by Seneca High School's National Honor Society (NHS).
Happy birthday, Erie! Friday marks 230 years since city's founding
'As a member of National Honor Society we figured it would be fun to do something a little bit out of the box, and Olivia mentioned that her mom works here and she knows the residents well, and we just loved the idea of incoportating them into a prom and wanting to have a fun time,' said Abby Propst, sophomore at Seneca High School.
The night included a live DJ and a variety of snacks provided by Pepsi, Perkins and NHS students.
The theme of the prom was 'April Showers Bring May Flowers,' and Propst said planning took place every day to make the night special for the guests.
'We would host craft days every day after school, pretty much mostly every Friday, and that's how we got all these amazing crafts to get done and the balloon arches and pretty much everything to tie it all together,' said Propst.

Director of the MOVE program for EHCA, Debra Niland, shared how heartwarming it was to see the residents in full bloom in their best outfits.
'This is an opportunity for them to let loose, have fun, get dressed up, and they did promposals for each other, they brought each other corsages,' said Niland. 'I'm so thrilled for our residents, the individuals that come here to the MOVE program, because we try to provide these opportunities for them, and it does take a village, so we do appreciate the community stepping up and offering to do things for us as well.'
'It is just such an honor to even, dancing with them now, bringing it all together and just realizing the hard work that went into it that, they're appreciating it, and it's just a good accomplishment for NHS to incorporate them,' said Propst.

NEWPORT, R.I. (WPRI) — The Newport Historical Society (NHS) is being recognized at the national level for shining a light on some of the city's previously untold history. The American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) announced on Tuesday that the Rhode Island organization would be receiving an award of excellence for its 2024 exhibition, 'A Name, A Voice, A Life: The Black Newporters of the 17th-19th Centuries.' The exhibition was on display at the Richard I. Burnham Resource Center in Newport from May to November 2024. RELATED: Newport Historical Society making Black history more accessible 'A Name, A Voice, A Life' featured the names of Black Newporters whose stories were uncovered during a four-year research project that involved digitizing the Newport Historical Society's archives. The AASLH said its Leadership in History awards are the 'most prestigious recognition for achievement in the preservation and interpretation of state and local history.' 'After an incredible community response and reception to this exhibition, which centered the experiences and contributions of Black Newporters in our historic city, it is so exciting to earn national recognition from an esteemed leader in the field,' NHS Executive Director Rebecca Bertrand said in a press release. The NHS said the exhibition and database also played an integral role in launching the capital campaign to turn the 328-year-old Wanton-Lyman-Hazard House into the future Edward W. Kane & Martha J.
