A group of middle school students moved their teacher beyond belief with their heartfelt surprise. While you don’t always need a reason to do something nice for someone else‚ these kids had a very important one. That week marked the anniversary that their teacher’s son had passed away only a year ago. So‚ they worked in secret to prepare a special memorial in his honor. When teacher Mindy Cook entered the dark gymnasium at the end of the day‚ the middle school choir was waiting to surprise her with a beautiful rendition of “Amazing Grace.” These sweet kids had also spelled out the deceased boy’s name in glowsticks: Winston. @mindykcook All this week I have just been trying to make it through‚ taking it easy in my classes as to not emotionally overwhelm myself. I let my students know what the importance of this week was and told them I wouldn’t be at school on Friday. They did so good at keeping a secret‚ I had absolutely no idea they were planning this behind my back! I am so blessed to teach such amazing kids‚ my heart was so full after this! #teachertok #choirteacher #middleschool #middleschoolteacher #musicteacher #iteachmiddleschool #music #middleschoolchoirteacher #foryoupage #middleschoolchoir #teacher #choir #chorus #middleschoolmusic #empathy #feelgood #loss #griefjourney #infantloss ♬ original sound – Mindy Cook “They did so good at keeping a secret‚ I had absolutely no idea they were planning this behind my back!” wrote Mindy on TikTok. “I am so blessed to teach such amazing kids‚ my heart was so full after this!” Screengrab from TikTok After they finished “Amazing Grace‚” the middle school choir moved on to “Stand By Me.” Mindy’s students also surprised their teacher with a beautiful memorial collage complete with photos of Winston. Although this mom was still grieving her son‚ these incredible gestures reminded her of the special bond she had with her second family: her students.

Living in Minnesota‚ Deputy Patrick Mariakis is no stranger to icy cold weather. Still‚ it’s not everyday that he gets a call to rescue a dog from a frozen lake. But that’s exactly what happened during his night shift on Monday. When he arrived on scene‚ he attempted to carefully walk on the frozen ground. Unfortunately‚ he only made it about 10 feet before the ice broke. Luckily‚ the folks who called first responders about the dog were able to help by providing the officer with their kayak. Together‚ they anchored it with rope to his car — this way‚ they could pull both the officer and pup back to land ASAP. Still‚ this was a bit easier said than done. Minnesota Police Officer Rescues Frightened Dog From Frozen Lake As can be seen from Patrick’s body cam footage‚ he slowly but surely makes his way to the dog‚ who he later learns is named Honey. But once he reaches her‚ it takes some convincing to get her to trust a stranger. Once she does‚ however‚ the two of them become fast friends. Best of all‚ they make it back to shore! Here‚ the helpful neighbors greet Honey with towels‚ a heated garage‚ and treats. “That’s when Honey decided to love life‚” Patrick says with a laugh. “[She] was running around with a bunch of treats. There was another dog there too and they were playing around until we were able to call the owner to come reunite with her dog.” Facebook Turns out‚ Honey was recently adopted. She had only been in her new home for a few days when she managed to squeeze out of a gap in a fence. Needless to say‚ her owner is grateful to have her back! As for folks calling Patrick a hero‚ he believes his co-workers would have done the same thing. “We never show up at a scene and say‚ ‘Ah‚ it’s not worth it.’ We’ll do our best‚” he explains. “I’m a dog lover. I knew I couldn’t personally sit there and watch that and not try to help.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
