Just had to share this heartwarming story featured on The TODAY Show of a Texas high school principal, Jason Mutterer (lovingly known as Coach Mutt), who wrote personal notes (with a $1 bill inside) to all 443 of his graduating seniors this year. There is something special about a handwritten note and something even more special about a principal who took the time to get to know his students well enough to write heartfelt messages to them all. Coach Mutt still treasures a note that a teacher wrote to him when he was in high school, and there’s no doubt his act will encourage this graduating class to similarly pay it forward. Is there a note or gesture like this that made you feel seen, loved, and welcome? And is there someone you could send a handwritten note to today?
