A teacher volunteered to carry a student who uses a wheelchair on his back during a recent field trip so she wouldn't feel left out.
An elementary school teacher in Kentucky went above and beyond to ensure that one student was included during her class’s recent field trip. Instead of allowing a fourth-grader who uses a wheelchair to miss out, Jim Freeman, a teacher at Tully Elementary School, volunteered to carry 10-year-old Ryan Neighbors on a specially made backpack around the outdoor terrain.
Neighbors's family found out that this year the class would be visiting the Falls of the Ohio park, which they called"obviously, NOT accessible" in a post made on Team Ryan’s Facebook page. The family started to plan an"alternative" trip just for her. “As soon as we got her strapped in, she's like, this is the part I've been waiting for,” Freeman told WLKY.
King took to social media to praise Freeman and the staff at Jefferson County Public Schools. So far, the post has been shared thousands of times.
