This year's Jesse J. Kaplan graduates were able to pick out a prom dress for free Friday afternoon for their big day next month.
This is the fifth year the school's teaching assistant, Carmlina Bastone, has brought in dozens of dresses for students to choose from.
Bastone tells News 12 she has her mom to thank for the event. She works at various bridal shops and donates dresses for the day.
"Look at the smiles on everyone's faces and on the kid's faces. It's a really lovely, lovely event," says Julie Larson, executive director of special education at Rockland BOCES.
