When 7-year-old Curtis Rogers of Raleigh found out his graduating babysitter, Rachel Chapman, wasn't getting a prom due the the Coronavirus Crisis, he moved into action.

The second grader held his own celebration for her in his backyard. Rachel wore a pink prom gown while Curtis wore a matching bow tie, vest and button down shirt.  The refreshments included Chick-fil-A and Tropical Smoothies.  And yes, "social distance" dancing was done...although six feet apart. <g>

Before the prom these two hadn’t seen each other in two months because of the Covid-19 Crisis.
