Edward Little High School senior Leilani Mitchell accepts the admiration Thursday of sophomore Georgette Khonde, right, and English teacher Jennifer Braunfels during a prom dress giveaway at the Auburn school. For the past four years, Braunfels has collected donated dresses from which students can choose during the prom dress giveaway. Braunfels also receives clear plastic bags from a local business so students “can feel like they are leaving a dress shop” when leaving her classroom. Edward Little’s prom is scheduled for May 3.
