Midland Special Needs Prom Attendee Gets Once in a Lifetime Surprise

MIDLAND - Days before prom and without a date, one Midland High School special needs student got the surprise of a lifetime. With the help of her friends, the school’s prom queen asked the boy by song if he would be her date.

This is Logan Breeding’s third time to attend MHS’s special needs prom, each year before he went solo in fact he’s never actually gone on a date before.

But, for his senior year that all changed. On Friday he put a corsage on the prom queen’s wrist and danced the night away.

Brianna Ortiz has already had her prom this year, and was crowned prom queen, one month later she’s preparing for prom number two. With a ukulele in hand, and classmates as backup singers, Brianna asked Logan Breeding, a special needs student to prom…this time it’s all about him.

“I sang it with my ukulele and he said ‘I guess,’ and I said ‘I’m going to take that as a yes.’ And so it’s tonight and I’m super excited,” said Ortiz.

“He was really, really excited and it was an excitement that I have not yet heard in him,” said Logan’s mother Monica Bramwell.

Within hours, the couple was on their way to prom in a limo, Logan was putting a corsage for the first time on his date’s wrist and the two danced, Logan’s favorite part.

“I dance, yeah, me and him have a dance off,” said Breeding.

“To be able to walk in and see that he is just cutting loose and having a good time like anyone else, it’s just beyond amazing,” said Bramwell, “I just think there is going to be a relationship between him and Brianna that will probably last for years, if not life.”

For Logan, it’s a friendship that made on the basketball court, with a forty five second song, and a friendship solidified on the dance floor with his very first prom date.

--UPDATE--

MIDLAND - Tonight is prom for Midland High School Students with special needs.

According to mother, Monica Stovall-Bramwell, the prom, not sponsored or funded by MISD, was started by the head teacher for special needs students, Steve Darsk.

She says parents and business in the area have donated money, tux’s, dresses, limos and more.

Bramwell tells CBS 7 News that for her son Logan, this prom is especially exciting after being asked by senior MHS prom queen, Biranna Ortiz, in front of many students at school.

She tells CBS 7 News they walk the red carpet at MHS to limos around 5:00 p.m. and then head to prom at the Double Tree Hotel.

“Logan will know what it’s like to have a first date, and a prom date,” says Bramwell.
