thing different [and] we have a different theme we do,” Giegucz said. “This year, we decided to do something fun… the kids saw that there are a lot of kids with different abilities that are actual fashion models, so they thought it would be a fun idea to do it.”

While Giegucz clearly had a large role in coordinating and running the event, she continually attributed the success of the event to the group.

“They picked out all their outfits… they coordinated… and they did the backdrop. They put the whole thing together… we were here after school decorating the place. There are some kids from Inclusive DECA doing concessions because they didn’t want to model. Everyone had a part in it… whether it was doing the flyers [or] advertising… every kid did something,” she said. At the end of the event, club members shared a group hug before finding their families and friends in the audience. Many people took pictures on the runway, against the backdrop, and all around the cafeteria filled with streamers, glitz, and glamour. Before long, winners of the raffle were announced.

Inclusion was the word of the night.

“We feel that every person, no matter what your ability or disability, you have something to offer,” Giegucz said. “We pull out what the kids can do, and we all work together and try to build each other up. Everyone had something they can do, and we find what the student can do, and we work on it.”

Catherine Campbell, one of the event’s models, clearly had a great time.

“It was really fun,” she told the Community Advocate.
