โ€œSeeing a teacher that honestly and genuinely cares about their students and works to relate to them and act as a friend is rare, especially with all the added stress this year with COVID,โ€ Griffin Morris, a student in Mr. Holbrookโ€™s class,ย toldย Fox32 in an article published Wednesday. โ€œWe all had come to love him as a teacher and decided to show him that we felt that way. The decision to do something was unanimous.โ€

Griffin happened to ask Kyle Holbrook, an A.P. US History teacher at Conner High School, about his favorite pair ofย Air Jordans.

โ€œHe started to go on and on about different styles and thatโ€™s when we realized how much he loved Jordans. He mentioned he never really could get a pair when he was younger because as everyone knows, Jordans are expensive shoes,โ€ Morris told the outlet.

โ€œEver since I was a kid, I have dreamed of owning Jordans but unfortunately never had the money for them,โ€ Holbrook told the outlet.

The students in the class put roughly $400 together and purchased a pair of Air Jordans for Holbrook. The kidsย giftedย the teacher the shoes on the day of their A.P. exam, according to Fox.

โ€œMy first reaction was disbelief as I have never received a gift of this magnitude from students,โ€ Holbrook reportedly recalled. โ€œAs a person, it shows how the youth can think above themselves and act in a selfless manner. As a teacher, it was a huge positive end to a tough year.โ€
