MYFOXNY.COM - Some special-needs students enjoyed a special prom Thursday night in New Jersey.

Most of the teens at the Matheny School prom were in wheelchairs. They attended the prom with their parents and with volunteers who helped them dance and celebrate.

The students got dressed up and had their hair done.

Parents told Fox 5's Cora-Ann Mihalik that they were overjoyed to be able to share such a night with their children.
