Man, check out this feel good story I saw on the Huffington Post’s website.

An Indiana principal is teaching her students a really important lesson. Nissa Ellet, principal of Heth-Washington Elementary school, sprung into action after noticing that many of her students were coming to school in shoes that frequently needed mending. Ellet tells WAVE3 News, “Throughout the year we have repaired — I can’t even tell you how many shoes. We’ve used duct tape and staples and I started really noticing this is a much bigger problem than I realized.” Ellet reached out to the community through social media for donations to buy all the kids in the school new sneakers and ended up raising $17,000. Along with the new sneakers, the money was used to buy snow boots, gloves, hats, scarves, a school hoodie and candy for each student.

Aww man, that is was really sweet!  Made me feel all warm & fuzzy inside lol
