Cristian Alvarado of Lehigh Acres is a sixth grade student at Harns Marsh Middle School.
Harns Marsh Middle school, learning and leadership teacher April Ketron wrote “every day during lunch I sit at a table with our most severe special education students that need help eating lunch. These students are not able to communicate. One day while I was sitting at the table with those students Cristian walked up out of a group of five hundred middle school students and handed me cash and said he wanted to buy ice cream for the students I was sitting with at the table. It was so unselfish and kind to see a student use his own money for good. I believe because of his unselfish behavior and extremely kind gesture exemplifies doing the right thing.”
