With help from her close-knit family and many friends, cheerleader Abbie Zelms will be graduating from Danbury High School this spring with plans for the future.
“It hasn’t been easy for Abbie, or for our family, because she has had to deal with being born with Down syndrome,” said her mother, Jennifer Zelms. “What has been most important for Abbie, as well as for her teachers, had been to make sure everyone believed in her abilities.”
