I love this story so much! Student at Logan – Fontenelle Middle School in Bellevue set an example of what kindness is all about and honored their teacher too!
According to the “Omaha World Herald,”
Trey Payne, a family and consumer sciences teacher at Logan, had a pair of shoes stolen from his classroom at the beginning of the semester.
“I usually just leave my clothes and gym bag for coaching on my bench in my office,” he said. “I have an open door policy. I don’t hide things because I don’t think I need to.
“Then, (the shoes) went missing and the next day I asked about if anyone had seen them. But I wasn’t going to be punitive about it and punish the entire school. I was just thinking kids are acting impulsively and took the shoes, it is what it is.”
Two students in Payne’s classroom, Emma Mitchell and Carlo Kemper, decided to repay him for all he’s done for them and collected money from their classmates to buy him a new pair of shoes.
