A senior at Ogden High was worried about prom, and the community made sure she showed up feeling her very best.
OGDEN, Utah — It was the night to remember, the biggest event of senior year, and Ogden High student Sarah Sandberg was anxious.
She had her prom dress, but that was mainly it. Her mom, Amanda Baker, posted in the Ogden Facebook group, “You know your from Ogden if,” looking for help. “Ogden gets such a bad rep,” said Baker. “It’s ‘the scum of Utah,’ they say. ‘It’s just a bad area,’ people say. But there are so many people in Ogden that have reached out.”“It made me feel beautiful. It made me feel that I was wanted in the world,” she said.“[Sarah] stopped and looked in the mirror and was like, ‘Mom, I’m beautiful.’ And I’m like, ‘Honey, the whole world sees that.’ I told her, ‘You’re the only person who doesn’t see it.
