Going to the prom is the pinnacle of every teenager’s high school experience, but for these seniors it was beyond their wildest dreams.

Wheelchair bound because of a spinal-cord tumor, Ben Bunker of Foothill High School in Henderson, Nevada couldn’t get down on one knee to ask classmate Meagan Baker to be his date, but in fact it was the pretty blonde who made the first move, reported the Las Vegas Review Journal.

The invite was part of a special request that a group of students made to the school’s staff last month saying they wanted to ask all special needs seniors to the May 12 prom in one-on-one dates.

"Every student knows our kids. We don't push them in a broom closet in a corner at the end of the hallway," said Rae McAnlis, Foothill's special education facilitator, explaining that first the school wanted to get permission from parents so that it wasn’t construed as a sick joke. “One boy, an outgoing senior with fetal alcohol syndrome, gets high fives in the halls and is known as the Mayor of Foothill.”
