When I told my students about this day a week before, this particular child came to me and told me he wanted to wear a University of Tennessee shirt, but he didn\u2019t have one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We discussed that he could wear an orange shirt to show his spirit. He told me every day leading up to it that he had an orange shirt he was going to wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, when the day finally arrived, he was SO EXCITED to show me his shirt. I was impressed that he took it one step further to make his own label. After lunch, he came back to my room, put his head on his desk, and started crying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some girls at the lunch table next to his (who didn\u2019t even participate in college colors day) had made fun of his sign he had attached to his shirt. He was DEVASTATED. I know kids can be cruel and I am aware that it\u2019s not the fanciest sign, BUT this kid used the resources he had available to him to participate in a spirit day (one I celebrated all week: Go Noles)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I plan to get him a University of Tennessee shirt. I want to make it a little extra special for him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_313095\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lwm-a1.azureedge.net\/uploads\/2019\/09\/homemade-school-shirt-900x909.jpeg\" alt=\"boy wearing homemade &quot;University of Tennessee&quot; shirt\" class=\"wp-image-313095\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy of Laura Snyder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Update:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t even know where to begin. I am so incredibly amazed at the outpouring of love and support for my student! The news of what happened reached the University of Tennessee! Because of this, my student will be receiving an awesome care package from the University of Tennessee tomorrow morning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m so excited to share this with him! (He doesn\u2019t know about any of this yet.) The Vols fan base has really impressed this Noles fan with their kindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the looks of it, he will have enough to wear every day for the rest of this school year.
