News Story

In Michigan in Olivet Middle school the football team the Olivet Eagles decided to help make Keith’s day. Keith is a kid with a learning disability but still is friends with the football team. The football team decided that they would help Keith make a touchdown and score for the first time in his life. Although the team had to take dives to allow Keith to score they said it was worth it.  One of the boys involved Nick said they did it  "Because we really wanted to prove that he was part of our team and he meant a lot to us.” All the boys said they all wanted to do this and planned it out without the coach and did it because he was special to them.  Keith’s parents were also very surprised when they saw what the football team had done all that to let their son score a touchdown. On of the boys Justice said that he learned a lot from this experience because "I kind of went from being somebody who mostly cared about myself and my friends to caring about everyone and trying to make everyone's day and everyone's life.”
