An elementary school student who had a creative solution to a problem found himself bullied by his peers. It all started when Altamonte Elementary School in Florida held a “College Colors Day.” Students were encouraged to dress in gear representing their favorite college or university. A fourth-grader had no college gear of his own, so he got creative. He created a University of Tennessee sign that he pinned to his orange t-shirt for the special day. Sadly, his peers didn’t appreciate his attempt and made fun of him for the sign.
While kids can be cruel, teachers can be lifesavers in moments like these. Teacher Laura Snyder shared the story with her Facebook friends. She explained that she intended on getting the sweet little boy a University of Tennessee shirt. She then asked if any of her friends had connections to the school so she could find a way to make the gesture extra special. She never imagined the story would go viral and that she would get to give her student something beyond special.
