Before the dance, students attending Homecoming were introduced as they walked across a gazebo in the town square. Most students made that walk with a date.
Jordan Treadway, a senior who had been diagnosed with autism at the age of three, took a bow as he walked across the stage, alone. But he wouldn't be alone much longer.
"I saw Jordan was about to walk through by himself, so I just ran up and walked through with him," senior and Homecoming Queen Riley Plumer said.
"Riley helped me hold my hand, and then we walked to the stairs of the stage, and then the stage was saying, thank you, Riley, that is all," Jordan Treadway said.
Jordan's mother, Tracy, said she never knew Riley or the Plumer family before that day, but says she will never forget the kind gesture Riley showed to her son.
"It was amazing, I teared up instantly, and it's something I will never forget,” Tracy Hamm said.
Julie Plumer says she couldn't have been more proud of her daughter.
