✨ **Unified Prom 2026: A Night Among the Stars** ✨

On April 4th, our community center was transformed into a space-themed celebration as the Unified Clubs from Arapahoe, Heritage, and Littleton High School came together to host an unforgettable Unified Prom.

From the very beginning, this event was powered by student leadership. Dedicated teams took the lead in decorating and setting up thoughtful spaces, including a sensory break room and areas for hair and makeup—ensuring that every attendee felt comfortable, confident, and ready to shine.

The night itself was filled with laughter, smiles, and plenty of dancing. But beyond the music and decorations, it was the heartfelt moments that truly defined the evening—students being cheered on as they arrived, friends posing for photos, and everyone coming together to share a meal.

As the evening came to a close, the impact was clear. Parents shared their gratitude for a space rooted in inclusion and support, while students expressed just how much joy and fun they experienced.

A special shout-out to Molly, Jordyn, and Giovanni—your leadership in organizing this event was nothing short of amazing. And to the district staff who volunteered their time to chaperone, serve food, and most importantly, support our students—thank you for being such a vital part of this community.
