Students at a North Carolina elementary school are enjoying a bit of viral fame after their teacher filmed them assisting a classmate, who uses a wheelchair on the basketball court.
A heartwarming video filmed during recess at a North Carolina elementary school is serving as a lesson of how important inclusion and acceptance are for children and, ultimately, the community as a whole.
"[Inclusion] is a huge deal," Alex Riley, communications coordinator for Pender County Schools tells Yahoo Lifestyle."We talk about acceptance. We talk about inclusion. We talk about making everyone feel welcome and feel equal." This isn't a one-time occurrence at Topsail Elementary. A photo, taken just the day before the video was filmed, shows another group of fifth-graders, including Espinal and another EC student, in a game as well.
"We are part of North Carolina that really got hit the hardest by Hurricane Florence last year, so we have kids throughout the county who are still living in FEMA trailers," Riley says."They’ve had a real-world education on what it means to be a community and to have to stick together.”
