A tiny act of kindness may go a long way.
Alla Schwartz, a German teacher at Monroe High School who immigrated to the United States eight years ago from Ukraine, was the recipient of one of those gestures this week.
On Wednesday, students and employees at the school donned blue and yellow to show their support for Ukraine, and members of the school’s band and choir stunned Schwartz by performing the Ukrainian national hymn. Below is a video of the performance.
