Texas Elementary School Students Donate Allowances and Raise Money to Help Classmate See in Color
A group of Texas 5th graders have raised money and donated their allowances to help a colorblind classmate see in color for the first time.
The kids did the good deed secretly to surprise their friend and classmate, Jaron Casillas.
“They’ve been keeping a secret, which is huge,” Christina Hayes, a teacher at Glenhope Elementary School in Colleyville, said, according to a report from local station KTVZ. “For 10 and 11-year-olds, keeping a secret is a really big deal.”
Hayes had asked the class about their favorite colors, which led to the students learning that Casillas didn’t have one because he could not see them.
“It’s pretty much all colors,” the student explained when asked which colors he cannot see.
