"She was a cheerleader when she was in school, so she got to meet the spirit squad and they were so happy to meet her, and we got a picture with them and then after the team came out, we went out to the student section, to the corral and I helped her up onto the platform and she got to see the students and she was thrilled. She was so delighted," Tromp said.

“And they just responded with the kind of joy and enthusiasm that made her feel so welcome here, she had a blast. She actually came into my room the next morning and said that was one of the most fun things she had ever done in her whole life."
