In advance of the evening, I posted this and shared it publicly. I share it here now so there will be a source, in future years, for the sharing of it across multiple platforms.
Parents of Warren Township students, Parents of WHRHS students:
Tonight is "Night to Shine", a prom for disabled young people. Across the nation, churches in tandem with the Tim Tebow Foundation will be hosting this event, with the help of local student and youth volunteers. There are several NJ locations, including one right here in Warren. Some of your children may be volunteering as greeters, as buddies, as makeup artists, etc... For that, we say "Thank you".

Please, remind your children that as they volunteer tonight they may see peers of theirs from school in attendance as guests. Please, remind them that as volunteers, they have a responsibility to respect the privacy of those attendees. Many of those young people have not disclosed their diagnoses. Many of those young people fear being "outed".
Our family, and the families of those attending tonight ask that you remind your children that it is not their right to disclose information about those attending to anyone, least of all their peers and schoolmates.
Thank you.
