Tuesday, October 8, 2019
TAMPA, Fla. -- A Florida teenager wasn't allowed to attend her homecoming dance because she wore a jumper instead of a dress. That decision is sparking outrage with a community in Tampa, who say the rules need to be changed.

Jennie Ellis of "Jennie Ellis Photography" heard about the story and offered to give 17-year-old Darcy Krueger a free photo shoot so that something positive could come from the experience. The photos have since gone viral.
