Field Day. It has to be one of the best days of the school year for elementary and middle school kids. It signifies the end of the school year. This year's Field Day in Worthington, Ohio was extra special. Matt, a kid with spastic cerebral palsy, chose to compete in a two lap race around the field. Matt gave the two lap race everything he had, and did not quit until his gym teacher gathered him up in his arms at the end of the race. The gym teacher stayed with Matt throughout the race, offering support and encouragement. Then, one-by-one, other students joined the gym teacher, cheering Matt on. By his personal example, that teacher has taught those kids what is truly important in life.
