This is so wholesome. On the last ever Carol Burnett Show, Tim Conway surprised Carol with her idol, Jimmy Stewart. Her reaction transforms her into a kid again.

I love that sixth graders, new to the school, have an opportunity to wear their school colors with pride & begin to belong. Middle school is a time to try many things & eventually narrow in on a home. Great job Mike Lowrey
