Prom was cancelled for the St. Thomas High School Class of 2020, but some moms organized a virtual “pre-prom” for the students. The prom-goers all connected by video via Zoom and were shocked to see two special visitors on the call: Astros baseball players Lance McCullers and Alex Bregman. The two players chatted with the students, and, even though prom was cancelled, it’ll definitely be a night the students will remember. Pictured are Saphia Zaman, Chris Rootes and Julia Cook, in disbelief to be on the same call as Bregman. For more, see “Virtual Prom Hits a Grand Slam” by Karen Vine Fuller.
