Teacher of the Year

Robin Hughes teaches special education students at SouthShore Academy in Tampa, Florida, where most of her kindergarten kids had never seen snow, United Press International reported.

So Hughes got in touch with her sister, Amber Estes, who lives in Danville, Kentucky.

"I said I want you to make me a snowman, and I want you to overnight him to me and see if he can make it to the school," Hughes said.

"I want these children in Florida to see snow."

Estes said she wrapped Lucky the snowman in foil and packed him with ice in Styrofoam, and "off he went to the local UPS Store."

Hughes said her students had looks of "pure joy" on their faces when Lucky was unwrapped on Jan. 20. [UPI, 1/27/2022]
