Prom night
Feb 28, 2008 12:16 PM
Prom Queen Aisha dances with Prom King Jarrel Whittle.
Aisha Campbell’s dream came true. The valedictorian of the Mathematics, Science Research and Technology HS January graduating class is terminally ill, but she was able to dance the night away at a winter prom specially arranged so she wouldn’t miss the excitement and glamour of her senior prom. She delivered the valedictory address at graduation ceremonies at the Queens school on Jan. 28 preceding the prom. The prom arrangements were made and catered by the UFT Queens borough office.
Aisha and her mother, Diana Campbell (seated), are surrounded by teachers, students, friends and UFT staffers.
