HOMECOMING QUEEN: Urbandale Elects Queen

Urbandale High School elected its homecoming court Friday.  And a very special young lady got the crown.

Senior Katie Anderson got voted by her classmates as the 2012 homecoming queen.

Although, Katie has special needs, it doesn’t show.  She’s described by her classmates as a caring, outgoing person who is always willing to go out of her way to say hi to a fellow student.

Friday at lunch, Katie joined the homecoming king to soak in all the attention that goes along with her new title.

She said, “It was a big moment for to be a homecoming queen, everyone says I’m a sweet loving kind person. I like talking to people like helping out.”

Katie says she is looking forward to dressing up for the school’s big homecoming dance Saturday night.
