Principal Brianna Lanoye of Buffalo Academy of Science Charter School loves her students and they love her, too. Brianna was planning her wedding and expressed to her coworker and Vice Principal Courtney Champlin that she would love to have all her students attend the wedding. Courtney said that wasn’t possible, but then secretly created a plan to do just that. The school and Brianna’s fiancé were all in on it. When the big day came, Brianna noticed many of the kids looking particularly dressed up and even commented on how nice they looked. Later that day, Courtney walked Brianna down the aisle with all the students in attendance. Briana said, “To see the love and effort the students and team poured into this for me was one of the most touching moments of my life. This is a day I will truly never forget. They are all a part of my family.”
