Sent Friday, February 24

Dear Mr. Overstreet, Yesterday afternoon I took my niece and nephew to Top Notch for an early dinner. One of your boys saw me struggling to carry a one year old and

grab a high chair. Without any hesitation, he took the high chair and carried it to a table for me.

I am a teacher in the Catholic schools and I know these moments are rare. I wish I had asked his name but knowing these kids are still out there

makes my heart happy! We hear too much about the negatives in our

neighborhoods, so I just wanted to say thank you to that boy who made my

day by helping me!!
