Tell Me Something Good: Farmers Help Fellow Farmer Harvest His Crops After Heart Attack

Tell Me Something Good: Farmers Help Fellow Farmer Harvest His Crops After Heart Attack

I’ve always felt the farming community are some of the most thoughtful people when it comes to helping and looking out for each other.Their livelihood depends on it.

This story is a perfect example. A family who owns a farm in North Dakota were in real trouble after the dad suffered a heart attack and couldn’t harvest his crops.  To help out the family dozens of farmers from all over the area showed up and did it for him.  A family friend named Jenna Binde helped organize it all.

Amazing.

Tell Me Something Good: Teachers Welcome Back Students With Virtual Learning Parody Songs

Tell Me Something Good: Teachers Welcome Back Students With Virtual Learning Parody Songs

Back to school has been A LOT different this year. Kids, parents, teachers, everyone is stressed. So anytime there can be the smallest bit of comedy or humor to bring some smiles it’s always a good thing.

Teachers around the country are welcoming their students back in fun ways. With videos, parody songs, and more creative ideas. Like the teachers at Osborn Hill Elementary in Fairfield who did their own back to school version of “For The First Time In Forever” from Frozen.

 

Then there’s Paul Miller. An English teacher at a local high school teacher in Appleton, Wisconsin. He decided to do his own parody cover of the “Friends” theme song. Which I’m guessing the parents enjoyed more than the kids. He did a great job with it though!
