When Leavitt entered with a microphone, Mr. Willis was totally unprepared, thinking he was only assisting with setup.
She gave him a set of vehicle keys after describing the significant influence he had on the pupils and school community. A brand-new SUV, all paid for, was waiting for him outside.
Mr. Willis’ expression conveyed a mixture of amazement, happiness, and heartfelt appreciation. Students cheered and the tears came freely. Mr. Willis choked back tears and said,
“I don’t even know what to say.” “I simply carry out my duties because I adore these children.” I never thought this would happen. Your Heart Will Melt at What Followed
The narrative didn’t stop there, as if the occasion wasn’t already poignant. The Jefferson High students, moved by Leavitt’s generosity, launched a fundraising effort.
