This is 16-year-old Jake, and his girlfriend, 17-year-old Emily. They attend Metea Valley High School in Aurora, Illinois.



As it’s homecoming season, Jake came up with the idea to ask Emily to the dance with a special cookie cake, because he knew she loves cookies. When students in Peer Partners, a program that pairs special needs students with a mentor at school, heard about Jake’s plan, they all wanted to help.



“I knew this was going to be an important moment,” Stephanie Zagurski, a student at the school and Peer Partner volunteer, told
“My friends and I rushed to the cafeteria,” she said, where the homecoming ~proposal~ was going to take place.

Zagurski and a crowd of students all gathered around Emily and caught the entire moment on video. Emily not only said “yes” to going to homecoming with Jake, she burst into tears.
