The best just don't rest

This was sent by a teacher to the staff and district in School District 5 

I just wanted to send a note telling everyone about the terrific
experience I had tonight.  I have a special needs child who plays
baseball in the Miracle League.  In this league, each child gets a
"buddy" to help them bat, run the bases, play the field, etc.  Tonight,
the Byrnes High School Football team provided the buddies.  It was a
moving experience watching these gifted student athletes give of their
time and talent to these special kids.  I saw teenagers snuggling
little children, sharing their jerseys, carrying kids, pushing wheel chairs,
encouraging the kids, etc.  The children were absolutely thrilled to
have these "stars" making them the center of attention.  Many of the
players volunteered to buddy for the 2nd game.  What a great joy it was
to witness these kids give back to those in need.  As a parent, I
enjoyed getting to watch a game from the stands too!

If you have a football player in your class, be sure to commend them on
their volunteer work.  I am sure this was just one of many events in
which they participate.  However, I know that this made a huge impact
in a short period of time.

Thank You Byrnes Rebels!!!!!
