When Nic rolled into the school, there where tears, cheers, laughter and just pure positive energy that took me by total surprise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Nic was at this school for a year. This wonderful school with it&#8217;s teachers, staff and students care about my child. Even after all the grief he gave them in his short year there! \u00a0Oh the grief! \u00a0They went over the top with this event, as well as the other fundraisers they have done.
