…and wanted to prove it to him in a surprise for his 50th birthday (well, a little late, but with extra love).
George Matthew arrived at Hanover (PA) Street Elementary School on Wednesday with two Halloween books to read to the children and his red and white striped Dr. Seuss hat, a must-have for storytime.
The school told Matthew, the assistant director of youth services at Hanover public library, that he would be reading to the entire school in preparation for Halloween. But much to his surprise, second-grade teacher Karen Evans told Matthew that he actually wouldn’t be reading that day. The man students call Mr. George was in the middle of his own surprise birthday party.
“Happy birthday, Mr. George!” the students yelled and sang “Purple People Eater” during the assembly.
Happy Birthday
Wonderful, just wonderful and inspiring!
So very nice to see a heartwarming story such as this for a change.
Thank-you
