During a kids’ basketball game in Valdosta, Georgia, kindergarten coach Jonathan Oliver paused to help one of his players, Kristen, tie her hair into a ponytail. A fellow teacher filmed the sweet moment, and the video quickly went viral.
Oliver, a father of three, said he didn’t think much of it—he just wanted his students to feel cared for. Kristen’s mom later shared how grateful she was, knowing her daughter was in such good hands.
Sometimes, it’s the smallest gestures that leave the biggest mark.
