"They were like family to me. They were my first class and they've been my only class and so I knew I couldn't have a special day without them," French said.

The students told WLKY News that their favorite parts of the big day included the food ("mashed potatoes!") and the dancing. French's students took to the dance floor to show off their dance moves, including the dab and the whip and the nae-nae.
