An eighth-grade student who took it upon himself to shield a classmate, who has cerebral palsy, from rain as he crossed the schoolyard was spotted by the middle school principal. Witnessing the heartwarming act, she snapped a photo and shared it on social media, touching the hearts of their community.
Jerry, who has cerebral palsy and uses a walker, has been a student at Clewiston Middle School (CMS) in South Florida since sixth grade. Lamar, who held an umbrella over Jerry’s head, joined the school in fall 2021 but has already made a big impression on those around him.
