I love this so so much. There wasn’t a day that went by in elementary school that Mr. James didn’t ask me how ball was going! Such a sweet, genuine guy. So proud to be a former Hickerson Hawk 💛💛 https://t.co/QFloB8x80p

Thank you Kindergarten students, teachers, and Nurse Angela for sharing this experience. I know Mr. James had such a great day because of this.

This is amazing! Thank you for teaching our kids lessons in compassion for others- allowing them to recognize, celebrate and champion differences as they see their own humanity reflected. This lesson will be lifelong and will not return void 😃
