Tampa Teacher Gives Students Amazing Easter Surprise

Apr 25, 2019 by apost team

We all know that teachers are partly responsible for shaping students into the leaders of tomorrow. A good teacher can make such a huge impact on the life of a child, inspiring them to grow up to be happy, healthy, well-rounded and intelligent individuals that want to make a difference in the world.

Many of us would credit our success to one teacher that really motivated us to keep going. Although it may be rare to find such an incredible educator, Brent Walker has everything it takes.

While teaching his students this past year at Sheehy Elementary, he decided that they deserved an incredible Easter surprise. Walker decided that he wanted to prepare some plastic fillable Easter eggs in order to create an egg hunt for his classroom.

This small gesture would surely make the days of his students, and the fun activity would bring the entire class closer together and leave them more motivated and ready to learn than ever before. But while he walked down the aisle gazing at the large, extravagant, and festive baskets that were pre-prepared, he longed to buy each of his students one of these incredible gifts.

So in order to make their dreams come true, Walker made a Facebook post asking if any of his peers were able to donate to sponsor all four of his classes in order to buy them some Easter gifts, including for all of his math and homeroom students.

But Walker could have never imagined the amazing response he would receive once word got out about the mission he was trying to prepare.

When Walker arrived at school to prepare his surprise, the other teachers were ready and willing to help. The surprise becomes even more special when you realize that many of the students in his classes come from areas with families that are unable to afford Easter baskets or presents.

Thankfully, when the students see their surprises, the camera is rolling, and the video was posted so that we can all join in on their innocent joy.

Walker hopes that the joyous moment inspires the students to try their best and work hard to achieve their goals. You can watch the amazing surprise for yourself in the video below. What do you think about this Easter miracle?
