00:00:00,884 --> 00:00:02,650
Tonight on School Pride...
3
00:00:02,826 --> 00:00:03,960
Our mission to restore pride...
4
00:00:04,027 --> 00:00:05,662
and achievement to
America's schools...
5
00:00:05,730 --> 00:00:07,231
takes us to a small town...
6
00:00:07,298 --> 00:00:10,168
that was devastated
by a huge flood.
7
00:00:10,236 --> 00:00:12,036
It's the worst flood
in modern history.
8
00:00:12,104 --> 00:00:14,507
The river rose 13 feet...
9
00:00:14,574 --> 00:00:17,677
and destroyed Kingston
Springs elementary school.
10
00:00:17,745 --> 00:00:20,180
It was flooded with
all this nasty water,
11
00:00:20,281 --> 00:00:22,750
and it's polluted
all over the place.
12
00:00:22,818 --> 00:00:26,221
It will take a long
time to clean this up.
13
00:00:26,289 --> 00:00:28,457
It's taken a while...
14
00:00:28,525 --> 00:00:33,263
to absorb the fact
that 36 years is gone.
15
00:00:33,330 --> 00:00:35,499
We've got just seven days
to get Kingston Springs...
16
00:00:35,567 --> 00:00:37,434
ready for the new school year.
17
00:00:37,502 --> 00:00:38,769
Is anybody a little overwhelmed?
18
00:00:38,837 --> 00:00:41,206
Yes, there is so much to do.
19
00:00:41,274 --> 00:00:43,242
But to bring this
school back to life,
20
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:46,112
we'll need the help of everyone,
from the youngest volunteers...
21
00:00:46,180 --> 00:00:48,682
to the biggest country superstars.
22
00:00:48,750 --> 00:00:50,484
Can this school
rise from the flood?
23
00:00:50,552 --> 00:00:51,518
School is in!
24
00:00:54,023 --> 00:00:56,225
Four individuals from
different walks of life...
25
00:00:56,293 --> 00:00:58,093
have come together to
help communities...
26
00:00:58,161 --> 00:00:59,195
renovate their schools.
27
00:00:59,262 --> 00:01:00,463
Are you ready?
28
00:01:00,531 --> 00:01:02,098
Susie castillo.
29
00:01:02,166 --> 00:01:04,435
Designer and former miss usa.
30
00:01:04,503 --> 00:01:06,470
It's a proven fact
that when children...
31
00:01:06,538 --> 00:01:08,239
have a better learning environment,
32
00:01:08,307 --> 00:01:09,608
like what we're giving them,
33
00:01:09,676 --> 00:01:12,711
test scores skyrocket,
and they get better grades.
34
00:01:12,779 --> 00:01:15,949
Jacob soboroff,
political journalist,
35
00:01:16,016 --> 00:01:18,219
determined to find out why
so many of our schools...
36
00:01:18,286 --> 00:01:19,854
are on the brink of collapse.
37
00:01:19,921 --> 00:01:22,157
I think that education
in America is broken.
38
00:01:22,225 --> 00:01:23,925
No teacher or no student...
39
00:01:23,993 --> 00:01:27,129
should feel like their
school is a prison.
40
00:01:27,197 --> 00:01:30,367
Kym whitley. Comedian,
and former teacher.
41
00:01:30,435 --> 00:01:32,669
If you can give a child
a great beginning,
42
00:01:32,737 --> 00:01:34,272
they could become anything.
43
00:01:34,340 --> 00:01:36,074
And me, Tom stroup.
44
00:01:36,141 --> 00:01:38,109
Team leader, and SWAT commander.
45
00:01:38,177 --> 00:01:40,145
We're basically
community organizers.
46
00:01:40,213 --> 00:01:42,081
It's about going to a community...
47
00:01:42,148 --> 00:01:44,451
and helping the community
help themselves.
48
00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:49,290
This week we're headed...
49
00:01:49,358 --> 00:01:50,791
to Kingston Springs
elementary school...
50
00:01:50,859 --> 00:01:52,394
in Nashville, Tennessee.
51
00:01:52,462 --> 00:01:54,897
Hi, my name is Wyatt,
and I'm a fourth grader...
52
00:01:54,964 --> 00:01:57,433
at Kingston Springs
elementary school.
53
00:01:57,501 --> 00:01:59,536
Hi, my name is Liam,
and I'm a fourth grader...
54
00:01:59,604 --> 00:02:01,572
at Kingston Springs
elementary school.
55
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,209
This is our school.
56
00:02:04,277 --> 00:02:06,745
We have a river close to it.
It's called the harpeth river.
57
00:02:06,812 --> 00:02:09,181
And it may seem like a calm river,
58
00:02:09,249 --> 00:02:11,751
but it flooded our school.
59
00:02:16,391 --> 00:02:19,861
It's still standing,
but it's not pretty.
60
00:02:19,929 --> 00:02:23,432
And inside it was flooded
with all this nasty water,
61
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:26,036
and it's polluted
all over the place.
62
00:02:26,103 --> 00:02:28,972
It will take a long
time to clean this up.
63
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,677
Kingston Springs elementary
was completely underwater,
64
00:02:32,744 --> 00:02:34,880
almost up to the tops of the doors.
65
00:02:34,948 --> 00:02:37,282
Everything was
completely devastated.
66
00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:39,252
We have to start over.
67
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,920
But it's gonna take a lot of work.
68
00:02:40,988 --> 00:02:44,692
We have a good community,
but we're gonna need help.
69
00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:46,795
School is out of session
because of the flood.
70
00:02:46,862 --> 00:02:49,564
It's really dangerous,
and there's a sign outside...
71
00:02:49,632 --> 00:02:51,901
that says we can't even go in.
72
00:02:51,969 --> 00:02:53,703
The teachers,
they can't go back to work.
73
00:02:53,770 --> 00:02:55,539
They can't go back
to the classroom.
74
00:02:55,606 --> 00:02:58,742
They can't even go
back inside the school.
75
00:02:58,810 --> 00:03:00,445
Teaching's my life.
76
00:03:00,512 --> 00:03:02,347
I was there, day and night.
77
00:03:02,414 --> 00:03:04,917
The children had
just been devastated.
78
00:03:04,985 --> 00:03:06,452
They're all ready to
come back to school.
79
00:03:06,519 --> 00:03:08,421
And if the kids don't get to start,
80
00:03:08,489 --> 00:03:09,656
I don't know what we're gonna do.
81
00:03:09,724 --> 00:03:14,362
It's taken a while
to actually, um...
82
00:03:19,235 --> 00:03:24,441
Just absorb the fact that 36 years,
basically, is gone.
83
00:03:24,509 --> 00:03:28,445
We really love our teachers,
and they love us.
84
00:03:28,514 --> 00:03:29,848
We want to go back to school...
85
00:03:29,915 --> 00:03:33,953
so we can have an
education when we grow up.
86
00:03:34,021 --> 00:03:36,756
Yes, an education
is very important.
87
00:03:36,823 --> 00:03:41,496
But our spirit is down now,
because we don't have a school.
88
00:03:41,563 --> 00:03:44,132
It's so important to
help fix this school.
89
00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:47,369
Because of Wyatt and Liam,
they need this place.
90
00:03:47,437 --> 00:03:50,707
They need to learn and
enjoy their young lives.
91
00:03:50,775 --> 00:03:52,742
Thank you, nbc.
92
00:03:52,810 --> 00:03:56,514
We hope to see you soon. Bye.
93
00:04:09,597 --> 00:04:11,266
We're in Tennessee.
We're going to...
94
00:04:11,333 --> 00:04:13,234
Kingston Springs elementary school.
95
00:04:13,302 --> 00:04:15,171
This is really where
you're going to see...
96
00:04:15,238 --> 00:04:17,139
the damage from the flood.
97
00:04:17,207 --> 00:04:19,709
Kingston Springs had a flood,
and it devastated...
98
00:04:19,777 --> 00:04:22,012
not just that school,
but the entire region.
99
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,916
One whole year's worth
of rain in two days.
100
00:04:24,983 --> 00:04:26,217
Oh, look.
101
00:04:26,285 --> 00:04:28,487
Wow...Devastation.
102
00:04:28,555 --> 00:04:31,156
I look out of the car,
and I just see destruction.
103
00:04:31,224 --> 00:04:35,795
Bridges, houses, trees, cars.
It's a mess.
104
00:04:35,863 --> 00:04:38,099
- Oh, look.
- Look at this.
105
00:04:38,166 --> 00:04:40,635
Oh, my God.
106
00:04:40,703 --> 00:04:41,770
We're on our way to the school,
107
00:04:41,838 --> 00:04:43,638
and I was not ready for what I saw.
108
00:04:43,706 --> 00:04:45,108
These were riverfront
homes that were...
109
00:04:45,175 --> 00:04:48,211
totally washed off
their foundations.
110
00:04:48,278 --> 00:04:50,013
That is very sad.
111
00:04:50,081 --> 00:04:51,882
This is surreal.
112
00:04:51,950 --> 00:04:53,818
It's the worst flood
in modern history.
113
00:04:53,886 --> 00:04:56,621
Do you see this road?
114
00:04:56,689 --> 00:04:57,756
Look at this house, down here.
115
00:04:57,824 --> 00:04:59,658
- What?
- Oh, stop!
116
00:04:59,726 --> 00:05:03,897
This isn't just bureaucracy
or bad school facilities.
117
00:05:03,965 --> 00:05:06,167
This is a natural disaster.
118
00:05:06,235 --> 00:05:07,568
These kids are actually
in a middle school.
119
00:05:07,636 --> 00:05:09,036
They've been relocated,
120
00:05:09,104 --> 00:05:11,507
'cause their school is
actually unsafe to be in.
121
00:05:11,574 --> 00:05:12,875
So we're not going
to actually go...
122
00:05:12,942 --> 00:05:14,042
to the elementary school right now.
123
00:05:14,110 --> 00:05:15,378
We gotta go make
the announcement...
124
00:05:15,446 --> 00:05:16,679
at the middle school
where they're at.
125
00:05:16,747 --> 00:05:18,181
- Let's do this.
- Yes.
126
00:05:18,249 --> 00:05:21,051
We're gonna rebuild
Kingston Springs elementary.
127
00:05:21,119 --> 00:05:22,686
School pride is coming to town!
128
00:05:30,731 --> 00:05:32,699
Whoo!
129
00:05:32,767 --> 00:05:35,202
- All right.
- You all right?
130
00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:36,738
- Yeah, I'm okay.
- Line it up right here!
131
00:05:36,805 --> 00:05:40,042
- What up, Kingston Springs?
- Bring it on in!
132
00:05:40,110 --> 00:05:41,377
Keep coming!
133
00:05:44,882 --> 00:05:47,083
Wow, this is amazing.
134
00:05:47,151 --> 00:05:48,819
Kingston Springs! Kingston Springs!
135
00:05:48,887 --> 00:05:52,724
Kingston Springs, Kingston Springs!
136
00:05:52,792 --> 00:05:57,263
We're the school pride team,
and we are here to help you...
137
00:05:57,331 --> 00:05:59,299
rebuild your school.
138
00:06:04,406 --> 00:06:05,740
Where is Liam?
139
00:06:05,808 --> 00:06:07,008
Good.
140
00:06:07,076 --> 00:06:08,276
Where's Wyatt?
141
00:06:08,344 --> 00:06:11,414
All right. Thank you, guys!
142
00:06:11,481 --> 00:06:13,516
We got your tape and
because of you two,
143
00:06:13,584 --> 00:06:17,688
we are here to help you rebuild...
144
00:06:17,755 --> 00:06:20,491
Kingston Springs elementary school.
145
00:06:27,702 --> 00:06:30,170
We are here to give
you new memories.
146
00:06:30,238 --> 00:06:32,573
We are here to give
you new supplies.
147
00:06:32,641 --> 00:06:36,778
We are here to restore the
hope in Kingston Springs.
148
00:06:40,351 --> 00:06:43,286
How many of you are
going to help us...
149
00:06:43,354 --> 00:06:47,424
make over Kingston
Springs elementary?
150
00:06:49,061 --> 00:06:53,032
We have seven days to
rebuild this school.
151
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:54,166
Are you ready to start this clock?
152
00:06:54,234 --> 00:06:55,768
Yeah!
153
00:06:55,836 --> 00:06:57,204
Let's count it down.
154
00:06:57,272 --> 00:06:59,606
5, 4, 3,
155
00:06:59,674 --> 00:07:01,109
2, 1.
156
00:07:01,176 --> 00:07:03,311
Start the clock!
157
00:07:03,379 --> 00:07:06,649
Let's go. Let's go, let's go!
158
00:07:06,716 --> 00:07:09,486
This is gonna be awesome!
159
00:07:09,553 --> 00:07:10,420
You gonna help us fix it up?
160
00:07:10,488 --> 00:07:11,955
Oh, yeah!
161
00:07:12,023 --> 00:07:13,858
I got helping hands here,
and they're ready to work.
162
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:16,327
Normally, the first step we take...
163
00:07:16,395 --> 00:07:18,297
is to empty out the entire school.
164
00:07:18,364 --> 00:07:20,766
But the damage was so extensive...
165
00:07:20,833 --> 00:07:23,403
that a restoration crew has been
doing all the heavy lifting...
166
00:07:23,470 --> 00:07:24,737
ever since the flood.
167
00:07:24,805 --> 00:07:25,872
Jacob.
168
00:07:25,939 --> 00:07:27,474
Russ dailey, with belfor usa.
169
00:07:27,542 --> 00:07:28,442
Ah, so you're with belfor.
170
00:07:28,510 --> 00:07:29,877
I am.
171
00:07:29,944 --> 00:07:31,012
So you're the guy putting
this all together,
172
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:31,946
making sure this all goes smoothly.
173
00:07:32,014 --> 00:07:33,448
Belfor is a company...
174
00:07:33,516 --> 00:07:35,618
that cleans up immediately
after disasters...
175
00:07:35,686 --> 00:07:39,890
in major situations that
have large-scale messes.
176
00:07:39,957 --> 00:07:42,159
Before any work can be done,
they have...
177
00:07:42,226 --> 00:07:44,295
to clean up the mess
that the storm left.
178
00:07:44,363 --> 00:07:46,264
We had 80 30-yard dumpsters...
179
00:07:46,332 --> 00:07:47,733
removed from this building alone.
180
00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:50,336
Wow. 80 30-yard dumpsters.
181
00:07:50,403 --> 00:07:52,472
There was probably several
dumpsters' worth...
182
00:07:52,540 --> 00:07:55,008
of personal items that the
teachers had brought in...
183
00:07:55,076 --> 00:07:57,078
that got thrown away.
184
00:07:57,145 --> 00:07:58,846
This is different than any
school we've ever done before...
185
00:07:58,914 --> 00:08:02,250
because we are
completely rebuilding...
186
00:08:02,318 --> 00:08:04,052
the inside of this school
from the ground up.
187
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,355
We got a lot of work to do here.
188
00:08:05,422 --> 00:08:06,856
And a very short time to do it.
189
00:08:09,394 --> 00:08:11,328
- Oh, wow.
- Wow.
190
00:08:11,396 --> 00:08:13,098
It feels so empty,
191
00:08:13,165 --> 00:08:15,734
like this isn't even
our school anymore.
192
00:08:15,801 --> 00:08:16,969
I feel really sad,
193
00:08:17,037 --> 00:08:19,772
because this was a
really good school.
194
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,410
And I just hate to see
everything just gone.
195
00:08:23,478 --> 00:08:25,947
- Wow.
- Where's the books?
196
00:08:26,014 --> 00:08:27,181
I just can't believe all this.
197
00:08:27,249 --> 00:08:29,685
Yeah, I mean,
where's all the books?
198
00:08:29,753 --> 00:08:32,988
When I saw the school,
it made me think about...
199
00:08:33,056 --> 00:08:34,924
all the memories that
we had in there...
200
00:08:34,992 --> 00:08:37,193
and all of the teachers...
201
00:08:37,261 --> 00:08:38,863
and what they have lost.
202
00:08:38,930 --> 00:08:41,465
It's just a terrible tragedy.
203
00:08:41,533 --> 00:08:44,836
It was very, very overwhelming.
204
00:08:44,904 --> 00:08:46,505
I can't wait to see what...
205
00:08:46,573 --> 00:08:48,908
next school year's gonna be like.
206
00:08:48,976 --> 00:08:51,445
You're about to show
me around, I hope.
207
00:08:51,513 --> 00:08:53,814
I'm gonna show you around...
I haven't been in there, so...
208
00:08:53,882 --> 00:08:55,316
Wait, you have not
been in the school?
209
00:08:55,384 --> 00:08:57,185
I have not been in the
school since I left.
210
00:08:57,253 --> 00:08:58,553
Since you were in the school.
211
00:08:58,621 --> 00:09:01,390
Yeah, since I was in the
school getting rescued.
212
00:09:01,458 --> 00:09:04,261
During the flood, my husband
and I had gone back in...
213
00:09:04,328 --> 00:09:05,829
to unplug all the computers...
214
00:09:05,897 --> 00:09:08,099
and to set tables and chairs up...
215
00:09:08,167 --> 00:09:09,834
so they would not get any wetter.
216
00:09:09,902 --> 00:09:12,070
We couldn't get out.
217
00:09:12,138 --> 00:09:14,606
The water was higher
outside than it was inside.
218
00:09:14,674 --> 00:09:17,010
The dumpster was
floating by at that time.
219
00:09:17,077 --> 00:09:18,912
We had no idea the water had...
220
00:09:18,979 --> 00:09:21,115
come up that fast from the river.
221
00:09:21,183 --> 00:09:22,783
The water just kept
coming in the doors,
222
00:09:22,851 --> 00:09:24,585
and about the time
it got to my waist,
223
00:09:24,653 --> 00:09:26,354
we decided we needed
to go up on the roof...
224
00:09:26,422 --> 00:09:28,123
to keep from drowning.
225
00:09:28,191 --> 00:09:29,659
Now, where's the
water on the stairs?
226
00:09:29,726 --> 00:09:31,227
Is it in yet? Yes, it's up to here.
227
00:09:31,295 --> 00:09:33,464
- So the water's right here.
- The water's at least to here.
228
00:09:33,531 --> 00:09:35,065
So you had to push this open.
229
00:09:35,133 --> 00:09:37,367
Had to push it open.
230
00:09:37,436 --> 00:09:40,004
Ms. candy is very brave.
231
00:09:40,072 --> 00:09:42,508
She came back during the flood...
232
00:09:42,576 --> 00:09:44,643
just trying to save
something for the school.
233
00:09:44,711 --> 00:09:46,713
So that's covered in water.
234
00:09:46,781 --> 00:09:49,015
Yes. It just kept flooding.
235
00:09:49,083 --> 00:09:51,819
The fire department came over,
and the Captain...
236
00:09:51,887 --> 00:09:54,088
He was one of my students...
And he said,
237
00:09:54,156 --> 00:09:55,924
"we're gonna get you down."
238
00:09:55,992 --> 00:10:00,763
Ms. candy has a spirit and
determination of a giant.
239
00:10:00,831 --> 00:10:03,901
She is the pillar of
strength for the community.
240
00:10:03,969 --> 00:10:06,403
And I want to make sure
she gets everything back.
241
00:10:13,113 --> 00:10:14,347
This is my room.
242
00:10:14,414 --> 00:10:16,183
We're here today because
this is actually...
243
00:10:16,251 --> 00:10:17,818
the first day that you can
get back into this school.
244
00:10:17,886 --> 00:10:19,586
It's been condemned.
245
00:10:19,654 --> 00:10:20,822
So I grabbed Ms. olszak...
246
00:10:20,890 --> 00:10:23,157
and I took her straight
to her classroom.
247
00:10:23,225 --> 00:10:25,394
Wow.
248
00:10:25,462 --> 00:10:27,696
Oh, gosh.
249
00:10:27,764 --> 00:10:30,700
Yep. It's sad.
250
00:10:30,768 --> 00:10:33,538
It was a great room.
251
00:10:33,605 --> 00:10:36,107
I had books up here,
252
00:10:36,174 --> 00:10:37,843
and I had little reading chairs,
253
00:10:37,911 --> 00:10:40,379
and everything was
color-coordinated.
254
00:10:40,446 --> 00:10:42,982
We had personal things in here.
255
00:10:43,050 --> 00:10:46,086
Books your children
have given you, gifts...
256
00:10:46,154 --> 00:10:48,389
They're irreplaceable.
257
00:10:48,456 --> 00:10:54,096
You never can imagine that your
classroom can be wiped out.
258
00:10:54,164 --> 00:10:56,732
It's just unfathomable.
259
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,936
We couldn't salvage anything.
260
00:10:59,003 --> 00:11:02,205
Ms. olszak's reaction
to seeing her room...
261
00:11:02,274 --> 00:11:04,375
for the first time
was overwhelming...
262
00:11:04,443 --> 00:11:06,579
and she could hardly
stand to be in there.
263
00:11:06,646 --> 00:11:08,547
We'll take the memories
that you've got...
264
00:11:08,615 --> 00:11:10,583
and we'll do what
we can with those...
265
00:11:10,650 --> 00:11:12,786
and make some new memories
this week... how about that?
266
00:11:12,853 --> 00:11:14,220
And we'll have a whole
new room for you.
267
00:11:14,288 --> 00:11:16,357
That'll be great.
268
00:11:21,898 --> 00:11:23,933
The clock is ticking,
and we still have work to do,
269
00:11:24,001 --> 00:11:25,368
so what are you guys thinking?
270
00:11:25,436 --> 00:11:27,170
I think maybe one of the big
things that we should do...
271
00:11:27,237 --> 00:11:29,473
is give these kids the
supplies that they lost.
272
00:11:29,541 --> 00:11:31,141
- Yes.
- And maybe some new things
273
00:11:31,209 --> 00:11:33,078
that they can build new
memories with, you know?
274
00:11:33,145 --> 00:11:35,113
Because obviously all their
memories washed away.
275
00:11:35,181 --> 00:11:36,616
Is anybody a little overwhelmed?
276
00:11:36,683 --> 00:11:38,851
Yes! There is so much to do.
277
00:11:38,919 --> 00:11:40,654
It's crazy. It is crazy.
278
00:11:40,722 --> 00:11:42,823
We have to get done
in seven days...
279
00:11:42,890 --> 00:11:45,326
what would normally take one year.
280
00:11:45,394 --> 00:11:48,931
This week we are rebuilding
an entire school.
281
00:11:48,999 --> 00:11:52,368
A project this big would
have taken years to get done.
282
00:11:52,435 --> 00:11:53,570
It's likely these
kids would have...
283
00:11:53,638 --> 00:11:55,105
been stuck in portables someplace.
284
00:11:55,172 --> 00:11:56,940
I want to get the teachers
and the students...
285
00:11:57,008 --> 00:11:59,310
back in their classroom.
286
00:11:59,378 --> 00:12:00,945
The library, I'd like
to go in the library.
287
00:12:01,013 --> 00:12:04,016
Every book in there... Gone.
288
00:12:04,083 --> 00:12:05,083
- Yeah.
- Without exception.
289
00:12:05,151 --> 00:12:06,419
Nothing left behind.
290
00:12:06,487 --> 00:12:08,054
I want to spend some
time with Ms. olszak,
291
00:12:08,122 --> 00:12:09,956
because she thinks
she lost everything.
292
00:12:10,024 --> 00:12:11,291
She lost her whole life.
293
00:12:11,359 --> 00:12:12,893
And we're never gonna replace...
294
00:12:12,961 --> 00:12:14,496
what they lost here
at Kingston Springs.
295
00:12:14,563 --> 00:12:17,298
But hopefully we can create
some new memories for them.
296
00:12:17,366 --> 00:12:18,299
Absolutely.
297
00:12:18,367 --> 00:12:19,568
What I really want to do...
298
00:12:19,636 --> 00:12:20,770
is I want to focus on Ms. candy.
299
00:12:20,837 --> 00:12:22,438
You know, I really bonded with her.
300
00:12:22,506 --> 00:12:24,608
She took a risk going
up on that roof...
301
00:12:24,676 --> 00:12:25,742
to get those computers.
302
00:12:25,810 --> 00:12:27,278
Speaking of computers,
303
00:12:27,346 --> 00:12:28,746
I want to take over
the computer room.
304
00:12:28,814 --> 00:12:30,548
The teachers lost everything.
305
00:12:30,616 --> 00:12:32,451
I mean, they lost all
of their resources.
306
00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:34,653
So I want to make sure that they
get all of their supplies back,
307
00:12:34,721 --> 00:12:36,790
everything they lost,
and so much more.
308
00:12:36,857 --> 00:12:39,025
This is gonna be emotional, though.
309
00:12:39,093 --> 00:12:40,428
This is the biggest project
that we've done yet.
310
00:12:40,495 --> 00:12:41,829
And we've got seven days to do it.
311
00:12:41,897 --> 00:12:43,097
All right, let's do this.
312
00:12:52,125 --> 00:12:53,892
How's it going?
Good to see you all.
313
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,259
Thanks for coming in.
314
00:12:59,062 --> 00:13:01,229
Okay, volunteers,
what are we doing in here?
315
00:13:01,296 --> 00:13:02,596
We're ready to go.
316
00:13:02,663 --> 00:13:05,697
We are getting volunteers
in record numbers.
317
00:13:05,764 --> 00:13:07,631
All right, y'all,
keep up the good work.
318
00:13:07,699 --> 00:13:10,165
Just to think that these are
people in this community...
319
00:13:10,233 --> 00:13:11,999
who have gone through this flood.
320
00:13:12,067 --> 00:13:13,900
But they are showing up.
321
00:13:13,968 --> 00:13:16,268
It makes you want to be a
part of this community.
322
00:13:16,336 --> 00:13:18,169
Hey, everybody.
323
00:13:18,237 --> 00:13:20,035
- Hey!
- Hi, how are you?
324
00:13:20,103 --> 00:13:21,503
Hi!
325
00:13:21,571 --> 00:13:24,438
- Hi, Ms. candy!
- How are you?
326
00:13:24,505 --> 00:13:26,439
You know, this is great.
You see all the volunteers?
327
00:13:26,506 --> 00:13:28,505
Yes, I do, and, I mean,
it's just awesome...
328
00:13:28,573 --> 00:13:30,840
to know that they came to help us.
329
00:13:30,908 --> 00:13:32,274
I mean, 'cause there's
nothing in there.
330
00:13:32,342 --> 00:13:34,575
Being there at the
registration table,
331
00:13:34,643 --> 00:13:37,176
I was so overwhelmed
by all the help...
332
00:13:37,244 --> 00:13:38,743
that they wanted to do for us.
333
00:13:38,811 --> 00:13:41,612
And it just kept pouring in.
334
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,112
I mean, it was like the
flood coming again.
335
00:13:44,180 --> 00:13:46,313
But it was with people
to rebuild our school.
336
00:13:46,381 --> 00:13:47,747
Do you have a lot of kids, here?
337
00:13:47,815 --> 00:13:50,249
- I have eight children.
- You have eight children?
338
00:13:50,316 --> 00:13:51,415
That went to school here.
339
00:13:51,483 --> 00:13:53,116
They all went to school here.
340
00:13:53,184 --> 00:13:54,316
- Yes.
- What do you need?
341
00:13:54,384 --> 00:13:55,883
What do I need?
342
00:13:55,951 --> 00:13:57,184
I need things just
to start teaching.
343
00:13:57,252 --> 00:13:59,385
I need desks, I need chairs,
344
00:13:59,453 --> 00:14:01,019
I need a white board.
345
00:14:01,087 --> 00:14:03,821
Every month I study a country,
346
00:14:03,888 --> 00:14:05,321
amd so I need maps...
347
00:14:05,389 --> 00:14:07,089
and pictures of around the world,
348
00:14:07,156 --> 00:14:10,357
and I need permanent markers,
'cause I write happy faces...
349
00:14:10,424 --> 00:14:11,857
on their hands and
things like that,
350
00:14:11,925 --> 00:14:13,591
so they can go home and show mom,
351
00:14:13,659 --> 00:14:15,392
"look, thumbs up, mom. I did good."
352
00:14:15,460 --> 00:14:16,826
You write on the kid's hands?
353
00:14:16,893 --> 00:14:18,493
Yeah, I write little happy faces.
354
00:14:18,561 --> 00:14:20,494
Little happy faces on...
Could you put one on my hand?
355
00:14:20,562 --> 00:14:21,694
Yes, I'll put one on your hand.
356
00:14:21,762 --> 00:14:23,495
This week is about rebuilding,
357
00:14:23,563 --> 00:14:26,263
replacing, reenergizing the place.
358
00:14:26,330 --> 00:14:28,063
Thumbs up, Ms. candy! Yes!
359
00:14:28,131 --> 00:14:29,897
I was good today.
360
00:14:29,965 --> 00:14:31,465
I like that.
361
00:14:31,532 --> 00:14:33,866
Did you just do your snort? Yes.
362
00:14:33,934 --> 00:14:36,734
I'm so sorry.
363
00:14:36,801 --> 00:14:38,568
I'm sorry!
364
00:14:44,171 --> 00:14:46,071
Liam, you having fun so far?
365
00:14:46,138 --> 00:14:47,505
Yes.
366
00:14:47,573 --> 00:14:50,006
Why was it so important
to you that you...
367
00:14:50,073 --> 00:14:53,107
send in that tape and that we
be here to fix your school?
368
00:14:53,174 --> 00:14:56,009
Well, school is like
a second home to me.
369
00:14:56,076 --> 00:14:58,075
I learned most of the
stuff that I already know,
370
00:14:58,143 --> 00:14:59,410
I learned here.
371
00:14:59,478 --> 00:15:02,011
Liam is a really sweet kid,
you know?
372
00:15:02,078 --> 00:15:04,745
And I feel like he's
had to grow up...
373
00:15:04,812 --> 00:15:06,013
as soon as the flood happened.
374
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,480
So Liam, I heard that you
lost your book bag...
375
00:15:08,547 --> 00:15:10,581
when the flood happened?
Yes, I did.
376
00:15:10,649 --> 00:15:14,149
I left it over weekend,
so I had all my textbooks,
377
00:15:14,217 --> 00:15:16,150
my workbooks, and a crayon box,
378
00:15:16,218 --> 00:15:17,684
and all kinds of
other stuff in there.
379
00:15:17,752 --> 00:15:18,851
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
380
00:15:18,918 --> 00:15:20,451
Oh, man.
381
00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:21,752
Liam, I have to tell you that...
382
00:15:21,819 --> 00:15:23,653
I am really proud of you,
young man,
383
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,553
because, look around,
look at all these people.
384
00:15:25,621 --> 00:15:26,820
You psyched about it, or what?
385
00:15:26,888 --> 00:15:30,022
I'm excited. It...
it's gonna be awesome.
386
00:15:30,089 --> 00:15:33,090
I think so too.
387
00:15:33,158 --> 00:15:34,491
So how's your week going?
388
00:15:34,558 --> 00:15:36,492
It's going pretty cool.
389
00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:38,492
Yeah? What do you think
of all these volunteers?
390
00:15:38,559 --> 00:15:40,693
I think that this
is just wonderful.
391
00:15:40,761 --> 00:15:42,494
As I talk to Wyatt,
I learn more and more...
392
00:15:42,561 --> 00:15:44,561
about why he cares so
much about this school.
393
00:15:44,629 --> 00:15:48,763
This is a young man that
wants to go to school.
394
00:15:48,830 --> 00:15:50,730
And that flood took all
that away from him.
395
00:15:50,798 --> 00:15:52,598
So we're gonna give it back to him.
396
00:15:52,666 --> 00:15:55,233
This community was already
a great place to live.
397
00:15:55,301 --> 00:15:57,633
It's too bad that something
like this had to happen,
398
00:15:57,701 --> 00:15:59,601
but I think we'll turn it
into a good thing, don't you?
399
00:15:59,669 --> 00:16:02,402
Yeah. Everything so
far is just wonderful.
400
00:16:02,469 --> 00:16:05,037
It is so cool...
401
00:16:05,104 --> 00:16:08,904
that all these people are
coming to help Kingston Springs.
402
00:16:08,972 --> 00:16:11,506
I really do love my community.
403
00:16:11,573 --> 00:16:13,939
Are you ready for the big...
The big reveal day?
404
00:16:14,007 --> 00:16:15,840
- I am.
- It's gonna be an exciting day.
405
00:16:26,146 --> 00:16:27,679
Two months ago,
406
00:16:27,746 --> 00:16:30,080
these kids lost
everything in this flood.
407
00:16:30,148 --> 00:16:31,347
I mean, they lost their backpacks,
408
00:16:31,415 --> 00:16:32,747
they lost supplies,
409
00:16:32,815 --> 00:16:34,381
but they're getting
everything back this week.
410
00:16:34,449 --> 00:16:36,916
Come on in! Aah!
411
00:16:36,984 --> 00:16:38,950
Hi, Liam and Wyatt! Gather around.
412
00:16:39,018 --> 00:16:40,117
Gather around!
413
00:16:40,185 --> 00:16:41,751
I'm working with Walmart.
414
00:16:41,819 --> 00:16:43,919
They decided they're
gonna step in...
415
00:16:43,987 --> 00:16:45,520
and they're gonna donate all
kinds of school supplies...
416
00:16:45,587 --> 00:16:47,887
Notebooks, pens, new sneakers...
417
00:16:47,954 --> 00:16:50,155
T-shirts, jeans for school.
418
00:16:50,222 --> 00:16:51,789
Everything that the kids
lost in the flood...
419
00:16:51,856 --> 00:16:53,690
a month and a half ago,
they're getting back.
420
00:16:53,757 --> 00:16:56,791
- Are you guys psyched?
- Yeah!
421
00:16:56,858 --> 00:16:58,892
I wasn't expecting this.
This is super-awesome.
422
00:16:58,959 --> 00:17:01,259
You like these? Well,
there you go, sweetie.
423
00:17:01,327 --> 00:17:02,827
You're the manager...
424
00:17:02,894 --> 00:17:04,227
of the local Walmart, right? Right.
425
00:17:04,295 --> 00:17:05,461
And what happened to your
store during the flood?
426
00:17:05,529 --> 00:17:07,629
We were completely flooded.
427
00:17:07,697 --> 00:17:10,463
How's your store doing now?
Is it back on its feet?
428
00:17:10,531 --> 00:17:11,897
We're almost done.
429
00:17:11,964 --> 00:17:13,397
That's why we're all
here to give back.
430
00:17:13,465 --> 00:17:14,632
There you go.
431
00:17:14,699 --> 00:17:15,999
So many of her friends...
432
00:17:16,067 --> 00:17:17,333
have been through so much.
433
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,833
To see everybody come
together to help...
434
00:17:19,901 --> 00:17:21,301
Walmart donated,
and it's just wonderful.
435
00:17:21,369 --> 00:17:24,935
Thank you, Walmart!
436
00:17:26,770 --> 00:17:28,303
Hey, Ms. o.
437
00:17:28,371 --> 00:17:30,504
Welcome back. Hello.
438
00:17:30,572 --> 00:17:32,972
- How are ya?
- Well...
439
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,573
A little nervous.
440
00:17:34,641 --> 00:17:36,074
I hadn't seen Ms. olszak...
441
00:17:36,141 --> 00:17:38,175
since we walked through her
room that was flooded out.
442
00:17:38,242 --> 00:17:40,308
I wanna figure out
where she had been.
443
00:17:40,376 --> 00:17:41,942
What have you been up to?
444
00:17:42,010 --> 00:17:43,409
Why haven't we seen
you around here?
445
00:17:43,477 --> 00:17:45,744
It's been kinda difficult
to come over here.
446
00:17:45,812 --> 00:17:47,678
It's immediately evident to me...
447
00:17:47,746 --> 00:17:50,013
that this is a woman who is broken,
448
00:17:50,081 --> 00:17:51,313
who is hurting inside.
449
00:17:51,381 --> 00:17:52,914
Why did you not want to come back?
450
00:17:52,981 --> 00:17:55,481
Was it because you lost so
many memories in the flood?
451
00:17:55,549 --> 00:17:56,948
It was very painful.
452
00:17:57,016 --> 00:17:59,083
It's still painful.
453
00:17:59,150 --> 00:18:03,352
We couldn't salvage one
thing out of that room.
454
00:18:03,419 --> 00:18:05,819
So it is traumatic.
455
00:18:05,886 --> 00:18:08,853
I get up in the morning...
It's like I can't do it.
456
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:12,154
I've lost hope because...
457
00:18:12,222 --> 00:18:14,456
my classroom is gone.
458
00:18:14,523 --> 00:18:16,423
Where do we go from here?
459
00:18:16,491 --> 00:18:18,624
Do you stay, do you not stay?
460
00:18:18,692 --> 00:18:20,991
Do you rebuild, do you move on?
461
00:18:21,059 --> 00:18:23,460
Ms. olszak has got these
memories of this classroom...
462
00:18:23,527 --> 00:18:25,927
that was flooded away
etched into her mind,
463
00:18:25,994 --> 00:18:27,761
and she can't let go.
464
00:18:27,829 --> 00:18:31,096
I wanna help her regain that hope.
465
00:18:31,163 --> 00:18:34,397
Have you driven by the
outside since we've started?
466
00:18:34,465 --> 00:18:37,132
Every single day,
hundreds and hundreds of people...
467
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,766
are all here.
468
00:18:38,834 --> 00:18:40,567
They're all here for you.
469
00:18:43,602 --> 00:18:45,569
It is unbelievable.
470
00:18:45,636 --> 00:18:48,803
What a lesson these
little people...
471
00:18:48,871 --> 00:18:50,704
have already received...
472
00:18:50,772 --> 00:18:54,072
in kindness, in generosity.
473
00:18:54,140 --> 00:18:57,574
This is the blessing
behind the tragedy.
474
00:18:57,641 --> 00:18:59,341
It is unbelievable.
475
00:18:59,408 --> 00:19:01,108
Listen, I know it's
hard for you to be here.
476
00:19:01,175 --> 00:19:02,775
I'm not gonna make you go inside,
477
00:19:02,843 --> 00:19:05,310
but I need you to
make me one promise.
478
00:19:05,378 --> 00:19:06,977
When we cut that red
ribbon for your new school,
479
00:19:07,045 --> 00:19:09,078
I need you to be here...
480
00:19:09,146 --> 00:19:11,645
and let me take you
into your classroom.
481
00:19:15,415 --> 00:19:17,048
Make me the promise.
482
00:19:17,116 --> 00:19:20,207
You promise? Yes, I will.
483
00:19:33,508 --> 00:19:36,407
Come about another inch, guys.
Right there, perfect.
484
00:19:36,475 --> 00:19:38,574
In the immediate
aftermath of the storm,
485
00:19:38,641 --> 00:19:40,574
it fell on the local community
to rescue themselves.
486
00:19:40,641 --> 00:19:42,574
I heard about Katie and Amy,
487
00:19:42,641 --> 00:19:43,974
the two sisters that run
the red tree coffee...
488
00:19:44,042 --> 00:19:45,807
who had a huge, huge role...
489
00:19:45,875 --> 00:19:47,841
in the disaster response
immediately after the floods.
490
00:19:47,908 --> 00:19:50,174
So I hopped in the car,
and I headed there.
491
00:19:50,242 --> 00:19:53,174
Onstar center. This is Kathleen.
492
00:19:53,242 --> 00:19:55,374
I'm looking for turn
by turn directions...
493
00:19:55,442 --> 00:19:58,007
to the red tree coffee.
494
00:19:58,075 --> 00:20:00,808
Directions are now being
sent to your vehicle.
495
00:20:04,809 --> 00:20:06,908
Hey, there. Well, hello.
496
00:20:06,976 --> 00:20:08,741
- How are you doing?
- I'm good, how are you?
497
00:20:08,809 --> 00:20:10,175
I'm Jacob. I'm with
the school pride team.
498
00:20:10,243 --> 00:20:11,608
We're working at Kingston Springs.
499
00:20:11,676 --> 00:20:13,476
- Katie.
- It's so nice to meet you.
500
00:20:13,542 --> 00:20:15,008
- Hey.
- My sister Amy.
501
00:20:15,076 --> 00:20:16,609
Amy, nice to meet you.
502
00:20:16,676 --> 00:20:18,109
These two ladies are
not two ladies...
503
00:20:18,176 --> 00:20:20,375
you expect to get in
charge of 400 volunteers.
504
00:20:20,443 --> 00:20:21,942
They run a tiny little coffee shop.
505
00:20:22,009 --> 00:20:23,576
I keep hearing this
place was ground zero.
506
00:20:23,643 --> 00:20:25,442
But what does that even mean?
What was going on here?
507
00:20:25,510 --> 00:20:26,943
Most everybody's power was out...
508
00:20:27,010 --> 00:20:29,175
except the coffee shop power.
Except for us.
509
00:20:29,243 --> 00:20:31,609
So we were able to...
510
00:20:31,677 --> 00:20:34,176
send people messages and
say come to red tree...
511
00:20:34,244 --> 00:20:35,976
if you need help,
and within two hours,
512
00:20:36,044 --> 00:20:37,909
we had over 100 people here.
513
00:20:37,977 --> 00:20:40,076
Then people started
coming in and saying...
514
00:20:40,144 --> 00:20:42,310
do you know of anybody
that needs help?
515
00:20:42,377 --> 00:20:44,909
You know, it's frustrating when
you feel like you can't help.
516
00:20:44,977 --> 00:20:48,876
So we decided to not feel
like we couldn't help.
517
00:20:48,944 --> 00:20:51,376
We decided that we could help.
518
00:20:51,444 --> 00:20:53,243
So it really is a volunteer state.
519
00:20:53,311 --> 00:20:54,610
- It is!
- It is, yeah.
520
00:20:54,678 --> 00:20:56,677
- That's exactly right.
- It is a volunteer state.
521
00:20:56,744 --> 00:20:58,010
Even though the flood
was horrible...
522
00:20:58,078 --> 00:21:01,111
and it wrecked so many lives,
523
00:21:01,178 --> 00:21:03,311
it has knit this
community together.
524
00:21:03,378 --> 00:21:04,677
What does the school...
What does...
525
00:21:04,744 --> 00:21:06,111
Kingston Springs elementary
mean to this area?
526
00:21:06,178 --> 00:21:08,111
It's a special place in my heart...
527
00:21:08,178 --> 00:21:11,644
because I taught at the
school for several years.
528
00:21:11,711 --> 00:21:14,010
And so all of those
teachers are my friends...
529
00:21:14,078 --> 00:21:16,344
that lost all of their stuff.
530
00:21:16,412 --> 00:21:18,678
The more I get to know the
people at Kingston Springs,
531
00:21:18,745 --> 00:21:20,845
the more I understand
that this school...
532
00:21:20,912 --> 00:21:23,177
is the heart of this community,
533
00:21:23,245 --> 00:21:26,245
and rebuilding it is the key
to having this community...
534
00:21:26,312 --> 00:21:27,377
recover from the flood.
535
00:21:29,846 --> 00:21:31,644
Beautiful.
536
00:21:35,379 --> 00:21:38,112
All right, hand those
up to me, big man,
537
00:21:38,179 --> 00:21:39,545
and I'll stick 'em in here.
538
00:21:39,613 --> 00:21:40,978
Gimme time to get up here
and move 'em, all right?
539
00:21:41,046 --> 00:21:42,745
- Yep.
- What do you think
540
00:21:42,813 --> 00:21:44,112
about what's going
on here this week?
541
00:21:44,179 --> 00:21:45,645
Well, I've never
seen it empty before.
542
00:21:45,713 --> 00:21:47,112
Well, you know what, in four days,
543
00:21:47,179 --> 00:21:49,145
it's all gonna be back.
Yep. I can't wait.
544
00:21:49,213 --> 00:21:51,146
Now, did your house get
affected by the flood too?
545
00:21:51,213 --> 00:21:53,079
- No, it did not.
- It did not?
546
00:21:53,147 --> 00:21:56,113
But some of my teachers
like Ms. Shelton...
547
00:21:56,180 --> 00:21:57,512
and Ms. plemons,
548
00:21:57,580 --> 00:21:59,313
they lost their homes in the flood.
549
00:21:59,380 --> 00:22:01,046
Are they here today also?
550
00:22:01,114 --> 00:22:03,313
Mm-hmm. They, uh,
they're helping out.
551
00:22:03,380 --> 00:22:05,046
So they lost their
homes in the flood,
552
00:22:05,114 --> 00:22:07,680
and they're still here
helping out the school.
553
00:22:07,747 --> 00:22:08,979
- Mm-hmm.
- Wow.
554
00:22:09,047 --> 00:22:11,413
I'd really like to meet
them and talk to them.
555
00:22:11,481 --> 00:22:14,246
Wyatt explained to me that two
of the teachers at the school,
556
00:22:14,314 --> 00:22:16,080
Ms. plemons and Ms. Shelton,
557
00:22:16,147 --> 00:22:18,313
also lost their homes.
558
00:22:18,380 --> 00:22:21,247
So they not only lost all their
personal possessions at school,
559
00:22:21,315 --> 00:22:22,746
they lost everything
at their home too.
560
00:22:22,814 --> 00:22:24,114
I wanna meet these teachers.
561
00:22:24,181 --> 00:22:26,447
When I found out that
the school was flooded,
562
00:22:26,515 --> 00:22:28,514
on top of my house being flooded,
563
00:22:28,582 --> 00:22:31,380
I thought, well,
what am I gonna do with my life?
564
00:22:31,448 --> 00:22:33,547
My life has just
turned upside down.
565
00:22:33,615 --> 00:22:37,447
There's nothing. Uh...
566
00:22:39,381 --> 00:22:43,048
It was just, uh, overwhelming.
567
00:22:43,116 --> 00:22:44,814
What's the biggest
lesson from all this...
568
00:22:44,882 --> 00:22:46,280
for you personally?
569
00:22:46,348 --> 00:22:48,481
You know, you wanna help others,
570
00:22:48,548 --> 00:22:50,581
but you really have to
learn to ask for help,
571
00:22:50,648 --> 00:22:52,081
and people will be
there to help you.
572
00:22:52,149 --> 00:22:53,614
And just take it a day at a time.
573
00:22:53,682 --> 00:22:56,981
How do you... I mean, you're not
even back in your homes yet...
574
00:22:57,049 --> 00:22:59,348
and you're here
helping this school.
575
00:22:59,416 --> 00:23:01,748
'Cause we love these kids.
576
00:23:01,816 --> 00:23:04,715
When you sign up to be a teacher,
577
00:23:04,783 --> 00:23:08,482
this is your world,
this is your life.
578
00:23:08,549 --> 00:23:10,915
And that's why I'm so thankful
for you guys to come...
579
00:23:10,983 --> 00:23:13,415
because I could not have done this.
580
00:23:13,483 --> 00:23:15,515
I could not have done this.
581
00:23:15,583 --> 00:23:18,349
I look at Ms. plemons
and Ms. Shelton.
582
00:23:18,417 --> 00:23:19,915
Then it hits me.
583
00:23:19,983 --> 00:23:23,182
This is not about the school.
This is about people.
584
00:23:23,250 --> 00:23:25,049
And I have to think of a way...
585
00:23:25,117 --> 00:23:26,683
to just give them some
sort of hope back.
586
00:23:30,917 --> 00:23:32,416
Thank you all for coming.
587
00:23:32,484 --> 00:23:34,449
There's a lot of shopping we
have to do for the school.
588
00:23:34,517 --> 00:23:37,083
I love this store,
so we're gonna be here a while.
589
00:23:37,151 --> 00:23:39,382
I asked Ms. plemons
and Ms. Shelton...
590
00:23:39,450 --> 00:23:40,916
to meet me at home depot.
591
00:23:40,984 --> 00:23:42,217
I told them we were going to buy...
592
00:23:42,284 --> 00:23:44,016
some more supplies for the school,
593
00:23:44,084 --> 00:23:45,317
but I've got a surprise for them.
594
00:23:45,384 --> 00:23:47,150
Ms. plemons and Ms. Shelton,
595
00:23:47,218 --> 00:23:49,383
I know I told you we
were here for the school,
596
00:23:49,451 --> 00:23:50,650
and I know you're teachers...
597
00:23:50,717 --> 00:23:52,016
and you don't like
little white lies,
598
00:23:52,084 --> 00:23:54,417
but I got you here to surprise you.
599
00:23:54,485 --> 00:23:56,684
Our good friends at
the home depot...
600
00:23:56,751 --> 00:23:58,016
have decided to give each of you...
601
00:23:58,084 --> 00:24:01,684
$5,000 gift cards to spend
at any home depot...
602
00:24:01,751 --> 00:24:05,851
for you personally to help you
put your lives back together.
603
00:24:07,351 --> 00:24:09,717
Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
604
00:24:09,785 --> 00:24:12,184
Thank you.
605
00:24:12,252 --> 00:24:14,218
My heart just dropped
when he said $5,000.
606
00:24:14,285 --> 00:24:16,684
I've never had a gift
like that in my life.
607
00:24:18,719 --> 00:24:21,818
I can't believe this.
I can't believe this.
608
00:24:21,885 --> 00:24:25,718
I don't know what to say.
I appreciate it so much.
609
00:24:27,919 --> 00:24:29,418
I've been doing a lot
of crying lately.
610
00:24:29,486 --> 00:24:31,885
I'm trying to get it under control.
611
00:24:31,953 --> 00:24:33,152
Well, what do you
say we go shopping?
612
00:24:33,220 --> 00:24:35,052
Okay.
613
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:36,751
- Oh, wow.
- Yay!
614
00:24:36,819 --> 00:24:38,486
I need a microwave.
615
00:24:38,552 --> 00:24:40,119
I want one like this right here.
616
00:24:40,186 --> 00:24:41,985
The help we got from
the government...
617
00:24:42,053 --> 00:24:43,385
only paid for half of our damage.
618
00:24:43,453 --> 00:24:45,285
So for Tom to give us that,
619
00:24:45,353 --> 00:24:47,119
it was just such a blessing.
620
00:24:47,186 --> 00:24:49,452
I know you guys need some flooring.
621
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,085
We've got the Martha
Stewart living collection.
622
00:24:51,153 --> 00:24:52,452
- Pretty.
- Yeah.
623
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:53,619
- This is exciting!
- I know!
624
00:24:54,059 --> 00:24:55,062
I don't know where to begin.
625
00:24:55,188 --> 00:24:56,016
It was an amazing gift.
626
00:24:56,152 --> 00:24:58,648
I'll never forget it
as long as I live.
627
00:24:58,783 --> 00:25:00,795
Oh, wow. Oh, my gosh.
628
00:25:13,032 --> 00:25:14,832
Who's doing a good job today?
629
00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:15,933
We are.
630
00:25:16,001 --> 00:25:16,933
Oh, there's my girls!
631
00:25:17,001 --> 00:25:18,435
It's day five.
632
00:25:18,502 --> 00:25:20,903
We have to rebuild an
elementary school...
633
00:25:20,970 --> 00:25:23,336
that was hit by one
of the worst floods...
634
00:25:23,404 --> 00:25:25,205
in the history of Tennessee.
635
00:25:25,273 --> 00:25:26,906
Can I see everybody's
thumb, please?
636
00:25:26,973 --> 00:25:28,073
Does everybody know
about Ms. candy?
637
00:25:28,140 --> 00:25:29,841
- Smiley face.
- Smiley face.
638
00:25:29,909 --> 00:25:32,809
Yeah!
639
00:25:32,876 --> 00:25:35,444
Instead of giving stars to
the kids when they go home,
640
00:25:35,511 --> 00:25:38,846
Ms. candy creates a
little face on your thumb.
641
00:25:38,914 --> 00:25:40,814
Thank you. Good job.
642
00:25:40,881 --> 00:25:42,314
I think it's a great idea...
643
00:25:42,382 --> 00:25:44,682
to encourage people
with the smiley face.
644
00:25:44,750 --> 00:25:47,551
So I'm going to go around
to the volunteers...
645
00:25:47,618 --> 00:25:49,085
and give them a thumbs
up Ms. candy face.
646
00:25:49,152 --> 00:25:50,618
You know Ms. king? I know candy.
647
00:25:50,686 --> 00:25:52,020
I went to school with candy.
648
00:25:52,088 --> 00:25:53,520
She was a couple
grades ahead of me,
649
00:25:53,588 --> 00:25:55,755
but I remember when she was
doing those cheerleading...
650
00:25:55,823 --> 00:25:56,989
Success!
651
00:25:57,057 --> 00:25:58,256
Ms. candy used to be a cheerleader?
652
00:25:58,324 --> 00:26:00,324
- Yeah!
- Yeah.
653
00:26:00,392 --> 00:26:01,725
Oh, you shouldn't
have told me that.
654
00:26:01,793 --> 00:26:03,326
Ms. candy? Okay, do the cheer.
655
00:26:03,394 --> 00:26:05,494
- Ready?
- C-c-a-r-d...
656
00:26:05,562 --> 00:26:07,061
I-n-a-l-s!
657
00:26:07,129 --> 00:26:09,896
Kingston cardinals! K-p-b!
658
00:26:09,964 --> 00:26:11,464
- Can you do a split?
- She can too!
659
00:26:11,531 --> 00:26:13,364
Ms. candy, you cannot do a split!
660
00:26:13,432 --> 00:26:14,799
Oh...
661
00:26:14,867 --> 00:26:17,334
Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute!
662
00:26:17,402 --> 00:26:18,935
Ms. candy says,
"I can do the splits,"...
663
00:26:19,002 --> 00:26:20,402
but I don't believe her.
664
00:26:20,470 --> 00:26:21,603
Kingston cardinals.
665
00:26:21,671 --> 00:26:22,770
K-p-b!
666
00:26:28,675 --> 00:26:29,707
Wow!
667
00:26:29,775 --> 00:26:31,109
Well, Ms. candy lost everything...
668
00:26:31,176 --> 00:26:33,510
during the flood,
but she didn't lose her spirit.
669
00:26:33,578 --> 00:26:37,078
We're having an emotional time,
but we're having a good time.
670
00:26:37,146 --> 00:26:38,445
We're just making
the best out of it.
671
00:26:38,513 --> 00:26:39,813
Muah!
672
00:26:39,881 --> 00:26:40,847
Aw!
673
00:26:40,914 --> 00:26:42,914
Thank you, Ms. candy!
674
00:26:48,886 --> 00:26:51,553
Who all here has had Ms.
olszak as a teacher?
675
00:26:51,621 --> 00:26:52,887
What do you think
of her as a teacher?
676
00:26:52,955 --> 00:26:54,654
Awesome!
677
00:26:54,722 --> 00:26:55,822
She's an awesome teacher, huh?
678
00:26:55,890 --> 00:26:57,456
Ms. olszak is very sad.
679
00:26:57,524 --> 00:27:00,325
She's having a hard time dealing
with losing all of her stuff.
680
00:27:00,392 --> 00:27:03,093
So what we're gonna do is
create new memories for her...
681
00:27:03,161 --> 00:27:04,560
using all of our creativity
and our imagination.
682
00:27:04,628 --> 00:27:07,129
Here's the deal... I have a
computer program right here...
683
00:27:07,196 --> 00:27:09,130
called crayola story studio.
684
00:27:09,197 --> 00:27:11,431
And we are gonna take
pictures of our faces,
685
00:27:11,499 --> 00:27:14,399
and it'll turn us into cartoons.
686
00:27:14,467 --> 00:27:16,067
We're gonna color in the
cartoons of ourselves,
687
00:27:16,135 --> 00:27:17,501
and we're gonna give
'em back to Ms. olszak.
688
00:27:17,568 --> 00:27:19,568
Perfect!
689
00:27:19,636 --> 00:27:21,836
The final product's gonna be a
mural with all these stories...
690
00:27:21,904 --> 00:27:23,404
of pirates and rock stars...
691
00:27:23,472 --> 00:27:25,939
and race car drivers,
and they're all gonna be...
692
00:27:26,006 --> 00:27:27,406
Ms. olszak's former students.
693
00:27:27,474 --> 00:27:29,508
Nobody could ever give Ms.
olszak back the memories...
694
00:27:29,575 --> 00:27:31,041
that were washed away by the flood,
695
00:27:31,109 --> 00:27:32,343
but what we could do
is create new memories.
696
00:27:36,779 --> 00:27:39,313
It's one day before the reveal.
697
00:27:39,381 --> 00:27:42,047
These kids haven't
been kids all week.
698
00:27:42,115 --> 00:27:45,316
We decide we're gonna send them
to a water park for the day.
699
00:27:45,384 --> 00:27:47,584
Attention, students and teachers.
700
00:27:47,652 --> 00:27:50,653
Thank you for all
of your hard work.
701
00:27:50,721 --> 00:27:51,786
You are gonna get a day off.
702
00:27:51,854 --> 00:27:53,354
You are going to go...
703
00:27:53,421 --> 00:27:55,222
to Nashville shores waterpark.
704
00:27:55,290 --> 00:27:57,856
Have fun and cool off.
705
00:27:57,924 --> 00:28:00,025
When you come back,
you'll have a brand-new school.
706
00:28:07,296 --> 00:28:09,229
The children were so happy.
707
00:28:09,297 --> 00:28:11,998
They were ecstatic.
708
00:28:12,065 --> 00:28:15,267
They were chasing us.
They were chasing each other.
709
00:28:15,334 --> 00:28:16,800
It was like a load was
taken off of them...
710
00:28:16,868 --> 00:28:18,269
and they could enjoy it.
711
00:28:19,803 --> 00:28:22,937
More fun than...
In my ever whole life.
712
00:28:23,005 --> 00:28:24,772
Thank you, school pride,
713
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:25,939
for letting us go
to Nashville shores.
714
00:28:31,610 --> 00:28:33,510
You guys ready to load
some books in the library?
715
00:28:33,578 --> 00:28:35,511
Yeah!
716
00:28:35,579 --> 00:28:37,512
We have 10,000 books.
717
00:28:37,580 --> 00:28:38,812
Who better to put 'em in there...
718
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,414
than the High School football team?
719
00:28:40,482 --> 00:28:42,482
The coach was there.
The kids were all in line.
720
00:28:42,550 --> 00:28:45,184
10,000 books. Grab a box and go!
721
00:28:45,251 --> 00:28:47,652
All these young men went
to this elementary school.
722
00:28:47,719 --> 00:28:48,818
We got 'em in there like that.
723
00:28:58,592 --> 00:29:01,259
It's the night before
the big reveal.
724
00:29:01,327 --> 00:29:03,694
I had asked Mr. Larry,
Ms. candy's husband,
725
00:29:03,761 --> 00:29:05,261
to bring me some volunteers.
726
00:29:05,329 --> 00:29:07,563
Great! What do you got goin' on?
727
00:29:07,630 --> 00:29:10,097
Okay. Wow... Ooh, wow!
728
00:29:10,165 --> 00:29:11,898
All these people come
into Ms. candy's room.
729
00:29:11,966 --> 00:29:13,933
I'm thinking it's
just regular people.
730
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,600
Are these strangers?
Who are these people?
731
00:29:15,668 --> 00:29:16,935
They're just me and candy's kids.
732
00:29:17,002 --> 00:29:18,802
- These are all your kids?
- They're all my kids.
733
00:29:18,870 --> 00:29:20,970
All eight of them!
734
00:29:21,038 --> 00:29:22,804
You don't have to go
anywhere for volunteers.
735
00:29:22,872 --> 00:29:24,905
That's so I don't have
to do a lotta work.
736
00:29:24,973 --> 00:29:26,573
I just to make it simple,
737
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,974
I called 'em number one,
number two, number five.
738
00:29:29,042 --> 00:29:31,209
That's what I called 'em.
It was easier.
739
00:29:31,276 --> 00:29:32,944
I need somebody to
helme with the frames.
740
00:29:33,011 --> 00:29:34,678
Seven. I need you over here.
Number seven.
741
00:29:34,745 --> 00:29:37,112
Okay, number eight,
I need you to get some pictures.
742
00:29:37,180 --> 00:29:40,948
I came up with the idea
of the globe on the wall.
743
00:29:41,015 --> 00:29:43,216
Let's have Ms. candy
go around the world.
744
00:29:43,283 --> 00:29:45,150
Number three!
Where'd number three go?
745
00:29:45,218 --> 00:29:47,184
I need you back on the table,
number three.
746
00:29:47,252 --> 00:29:49,186
The family went crazy
when they saw...
747
00:29:49,253 --> 00:29:51,087
all the places Ms. candy went.
748
00:29:51,155 --> 00:29:54,522
We had Ms. candy around the
world in the same outfit.
749
00:29:54,590 --> 00:29:55,957
He's embarrassed!
750
00:29:56,023 --> 00:29:57,724
Ms. candy's in Greece.
751
00:29:57,792 --> 00:29:59,491
She is in Australia.
752
00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:01,092
This is hysterical.
753
00:30:03,928 --> 00:30:05,995
Do you guys understand
that this wall...
754
00:30:06,063 --> 00:30:07,495
is gonna be such a
great teaching tool?
755
00:30:07,563 --> 00:30:08,663
Yes.
756
00:30:08,731 --> 00:30:10,965
My mom's gonna be able...
757
00:30:11,032 --> 00:30:13,099
to look around her
room and know that...
758
00:30:13,167 --> 00:30:15,300
the community came
together to help her.
759
00:30:15,368 --> 00:30:17,535
She's a great lady.
760
00:30:17,603 --> 00:30:19,669
This is gonna make
her feel so good.
761
00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:32,613
Seven days prior,
this place was in shambles.
762
00:30:32,681 --> 00:30:33,917
When this flood first happened,
763
00:30:33,985 --> 00:30:36,758
you were not even allowed
in the building...
764
00:30:36,826 --> 00:30:37,828
without a bio suit on.
765
00:30:37,896 --> 00:30:39,934
That's how far we've come.
766
00:30:40,002 --> 00:30:42,642
Awesome week. Lotta work.
767
00:30:42,710 --> 00:30:45,149
Biggest project yet. 28 classrooms,
768
00:30:45,217 --> 00:30:47,122
not even mentioning the
cafeteria or the gymnasium.
769
00:30:47,190 --> 00:30:48,692
This community came
together so quickly...
770
00:30:48,761 --> 00:30:50,698
to get this done for
us in seven days,
771
00:30:50,766 --> 00:30:52,203
and we couldn't have
done it without them!
772
00:30:52,270 --> 00:30:53,707
Guys!
773
00:30:55,078 --> 00:30:57,150
10, 9,
774
00:30:57,218 --> 00:30:59,156
8, 7,
775
00:30:59,224 --> 00:31:00,927
6, 5,
776
00:31:00,996 --> 00:31:02,933
4, 3,
777
00:31:03,001 --> 00:31:04,538
2, 1!
778
00:31:04,606 --> 00:31:06,377
Yes!
779
00:31:06,445 --> 00:31:08,315
Kingston Springs!
780
00:31:08,383 --> 00:31:10,355
We did in seven days
what some people said...
781
00:31:10,423 --> 00:31:11,659
would take a year.
782
00:31:11,727 --> 00:31:13,230
And it wouldn't have happened...
783
00:31:13,298 --> 00:31:16,540
without the amazing volunteers
and people in Kingston Springs.
784
00:31:18,547 --> 00:31:21,086
We pulled up.
Like everyone was in shock.
785
00:31:21,154 --> 00:31:24,095
Ms. candy was crying.
786
00:31:24,162 --> 00:31:26,267
Yes! Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes!
787
00:31:26,335 --> 00:31:27,572
You guys ready?
788
00:31:30,882 --> 00:31:32,619
I just felt really anxious.
789
00:31:32,687 --> 00:31:35,093
I just wanted to go
back inside the school.
790
00:31:35,161 --> 00:31:36,463
I just can't wait.
791
00:31:38,136 --> 00:31:39,706
When I got off the bus,
I wanted to run.
792
00:31:39,774 --> 00:31:41,177
I didn't wanna walk.
793
00:31:41,245 --> 00:31:42,815
Oh, it's amazing.
794
00:31:42,883 --> 00:31:46,760
Welcome back, Kingston
Springs elementary school!
795
00:31:50,204 --> 00:31:52,911
Days after the flood,
we came together.
796
00:31:52,978 --> 00:31:57,290
We decided we, as a community,
could rebuild this school.
797
00:31:57,358 --> 00:31:58,761
And you did it!
798
00:32:00,935 --> 00:32:02,371
Yes!
799
00:32:02,439 --> 00:32:05,614
Wyatt and Liam, this journey
began with the two of you,
800
00:32:05,682 --> 00:32:07,486
so I think you should
have the honor...
801
00:32:07,554 --> 00:32:09,826
of cutting the ribbon.
802
00:32:09,894 --> 00:32:11,865
It is an honor to be
cutting the ribbon...
803
00:32:11,933 --> 00:32:14,673
so we can go into our school.
804
00:32:14,741 --> 00:32:17,081
3, 2, 1.
805
00:32:27,010 --> 00:32:29,316
I'm jumping up and down
in the cafeteria...
806
00:32:29,384 --> 00:32:30,352
because this is gorgeous!
807
00:32:30,420 --> 00:32:32,057
It's awesome.
808
00:32:32,125 --> 00:32:33,695
We're back. Our school's here.
809
00:32:33,763 --> 00:32:35,934
And we're back together.
810
00:32:38,108 --> 00:32:39,913
Come on in!
811
00:32:39,981 --> 00:32:44,794
Welcome to your brand-new library!
812
00:32:44,861 --> 00:32:46,900
Look at the library!
813
00:32:46,967 --> 00:32:49,874
The library looks
so much different.
814
00:32:49,943 --> 00:32:52,082
All these new books.
815
00:32:52,149 --> 00:32:53,418
There's so many I
couldn't believe...
816
00:32:53,486 --> 00:32:55,324
that they could afford all that.
817
00:32:55,392 --> 00:32:56,561
It was just awesome.
818
00:32:59,470 --> 00:33:00,973
I just wanted to...
819
00:33:01,041 --> 00:33:02,712
just sing from the rafters.
820
00:33:02,780 --> 00:33:03,782
Wow!
821
00:33:03,850 --> 00:33:06,122
Wow, wow.
822
00:33:06,189 --> 00:33:07,826
We lost so much,
but we gained so much more.
823
00:33:13,009 --> 00:33:14,211
Hi!
824
00:33:16,252 --> 00:33:20,028
Welcome to your
microsoft computer lab!
825
00:33:25,211 --> 00:33:26,648
Not only is it gorgeous,
826
00:33:26,715 --> 00:33:29,990
the technology is
out of this world,
827
00:33:30,058 --> 00:33:32,230
and it's just so exciting.
828
00:33:32,298 --> 00:33:35,941
This tower over here
has 30 hp netbooks.
829
00:33:36,008 --> 00:33:38,180
You can lock that up and
wheel it to any classroom.
830
00:33:38,248 --> 00:33:40,153
Oh, Ms. Tammy!
831
00:33:40,221 --> 00:33:42,159
In the flood, they lost
all of their lesson plans.
832
00:33:42,227 --> 00:33:44,933
They lost all of their curriculum.
833
00:33:45,001 --> 00:33:47,106
Microsoft and bing put together...
834
00:33:47,174 --> 00:33:49,279
some incredible
resources for teachers,
835
00:33:49,347 --> 00:33:51,953
and you can download these
e-books and lesson plans...
836
00:33:52,021 --> 00:33:53,090
for your kids.
837
00:33:53,157 --> 00:33:55,229
We will absolutely use this.
838
00:33:55,297 --> 00:33:56,366
- Mm-hmm.
- It's great.
839
00:34:10,508 --> 00:34:12,948
Come on in! Come on in, Ms. candy.
840
00:34:13,015 --> 00:34:15,454
Welcome to your new world.
841
00:34:24,214 --> 00:34:26,686
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
842
00:34:29,496 --> 00:34:31,300
It's awesome!
843
00:34:33,173 --> 00:34:34,777
It's okay, it's okay!
844
00:34:34,845 --> 00:34:36,582
Come on in!
845
00:34:36,650 --> 00:34:38,788
This is your...
846
00:34:40,427 --> 00:34:42,365
You are kidding! Look at...
847
00:34:42,433 --> 00:34:44,638
You deserve this.
848
00:34:44,706 --> 00:34:49,419
It's okay, it's okay.
You deserve this, Ms. candy.
849
00:34:49,486 --> 00:34:50,723
When I walked into my classroom,
850
00:34:50,791 --> 00:34:53,063
on my wall was artifacts
from around the world.
851
00:34:53,130 --> 00:34:54,600
I couldn't envision that my room...
852
00:34:54,668 --> 00:34:56,305
would have those things in it.
853
00:34:56,373 --> 00:34:59,614
I have my room back.
I have my home back.
854
00:34:59,683 --> 00:35:01,119
I'm gonna grab you.
855
00:35:01,187 --> 00:35:03,693
Ms. candy, it's just
like a dream come true.
856
00:35:03,761 --> 00:35:07,337
My favorite thing to see...
857
00:35:07,405 --> 00:35:10,245
is my teachers seeing
their new rooms...
858
00:35:10,314 --> 00:35:12,251
and seeing them so happy.
859
00:35:12,319 --> 00:35:14,925
I did not think...
860
00:35:14,993 --> 00:35:17,399
that this school would
be this beautiful.
861
00:35:17,467 --> 00:35:19,439
All right, thumbs up.
862
00:35:19,507 --> 00:35:21,645
What we can learn from Ms. candy...
863
00:35:21,713 --> 00:35:23,483
is that even in the
midst of the storm...
864
00:35:23,551 --> 00:35:25,556
that you can be a light for others.
865
00:35:36,389 --> 00:35:38,828
I'm terrified about...
866
00:35:38,895 --> 00:35:40,265
what Ms. olszak's gonna
think of her new room.
867
00:35:40,333 --> 00:35:42,438
Because when I stood in
that room seven days ago,
868
00:35:42,506 --> 00:35:43,876
she told me she had lost hope.
869
00:35:43,944 --> 00:35:45,414
She didn't know if she
was gonna be able...
870
00:35:45,481 --> 00:35:47,118
to come back to the
school as a teacher.
871
00:35:47,186 --> 00:35:48,923
So we've got a whole
new room for her,
872
00:35:48,991 --> 00:35:50,126
and I hope that changes her mind.
873
00:35:50,195 --> 00:35:53,035
Go, Ms. o, go, Ms. o.
874
00:35:53,103 --> 00:35:55,008
Here we go!
875
00:36:04,117 --> 00:36:06,552
I'm terrified about...
876
00:36:06,620 --> 00:36:08,521
what Ms. olszak's gonna
think of her new room.
877
00:36:08,589 --> 00:36:10,423
Because when I stood in
that room seven days ago,
878
00:36:10,490 --> 00:36:11,691
she told me she had lost hope.
879
00:36:11,758 --> 00:36:13,125
She didn't know if she
was gonna be able...
880
00:36:13,193 --> 00:36:14,827
to come back to the
school as a teacher.
881
00:36:14,895 --> 00:36:16,462
So we've got a whole
new room for her,
882
00:36:16,530 --> 00:36:17,830
and I hope that changes her mind.
883
00:36:17,898 --> 00:36:20,232
Go, Ms. o, go, Ms. o!
884
00:36:20,300 --> 00:36:23,736
I really have mixed feelings.
885
00:36:23,804 --> 00:36:27,039
I'm excited, but there's
a little bit of fear.
886
00:36:27,107 --> 00:36:30,142
I can't even begin to describe it.
887
00:36:30,210 --> 00:36:31,944
Go, Ms. o! Go, Ms. o!
888
00:36:32,012 --> 00:36:34,947
Here we go!
889
00:36:35,015 --> 00:36:39,251
Go, Ms. o, go, Ms. o.
890
00:36:43,724 --> 00:36:44,991
Ms. o,
891
00:36:45,058 --> 00:36:46,626
welcome back.
892
00:36:46,693 --> 00:36:49,261
Oh, gosh.
893
00:36:49,329 --> 00:36:52,198
There was this total
transformation.
894
00:36:52,265 --> 00:36:54,834
Now, I mean,
my whole room is amazing.
895
00:36:54,901 --> 00:36:57,037
Oh...
896
00:36:57,105 --> 00:36:58,772
Unbelievable.
897
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,975
These are all former students,
898
00:37:02,043 --> 00:37:03,577
people that love you.
899
00:37:03,645 --> 00:37:05,879
They put their
pictures in computers.
900
00:37:05,947 --> 00:37:08,482
We turned them into cartoons.
Oh, gosh!
901
00:37:08,549 --> 00:37:10,917
They Drew their faces and
they colored themselves in.
902
00:37:10,985 --> 00:37:13,020
Oh, my gosh.
903
00:37:13,087 --> 00:37:15,288
The excitement is back,
904
00:37:15,356 --> 00:37:16,523
and the ugliness has been erased.
905
00:37:16,591 --> 00:37:22,262
The queen is back, guys.
906
00:37:22,330 --> 00:37:24,865
The queen is back!
907
00:37:39,380 --> 00:37:40,681
Whoo!
908
00:37:40,748 --> 00:37:42,649
I've learned so much this week.
909
00:37:42,717 --> 00:37:45,519
I found out that my school
had lots of pride in it...
910
00:37:45,586 --> 00:37:48,288
and that our community is a really,
really nice community.
911
00:37:48,356 --> 00:37:51,692
They just helped to make our
school just all really awesome.
912
00:37:56,397 --> 00:37:58,298
Awesome.
913
00:37:58,366 --> 00:38:02,636
So there's a neighbor from
just down the street...
914
00:38:02,704 --> 00:38:04,705
that wants to do a
special performance...
915
00:38:04,772 --> 00:38:06,940
just for Kingston
Springs elementary.
916
00:38:07,008 --> 00:38:08,141
How do you feel about that?
917
00:38:08,209 --> 00:38:11,044
Guys, please welcome...
918
00:38:11,112 --> 00:38:13,113
lady antebellum!
919
00:38:16,651 --> 00:38:19,052
Thank y'all so much for having us.
920
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,088
We're very,
very excited to be here.
921
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,028
Thank y'all for having us.
922
00:39:04,700 --> 00:39:06,501
When I look around at the concert,
923
00:39:06,568 --> 00:39:09,070
I see families, I see teachers.
924
00:39:09,138 --> 00:39:12,340
I see a group of people...
925
00:39:12,407 --> 00:39:15,076
that will stand by each
other no matter what.
926
00:40:13,335 --> 00:40:15,069
The waters took away
a lot of things,
927
00:40:15,137 --> 00:40:16,771
but the one thing it
did not take away...
928
00:40:16,839 --> 00:40:19,507
was the love and the
spirit of this town.
929
00:40:19,575 --> 00:40:21,309
And that's all you need in life.
930
00:40:21,376 --> 00:40:23,311
If you have that,
you can accomplish anything.
931
00:40:23,378 --> 00:40:25,347
Kingston Springs, school is in!
932
00:40:44,167 --> 00:40:45,901
I never imagined...
933
00:40:45,969 --> 00:40:47,669
that we would be
able to start school,
934
00:40:47,737 --> 00:40:50,005
and...Look where I am.
935
00:40:50,073 --> 00:40:52,040
My kids are reading now.
936
00:40:52,108 --> 00:40:53,775
They have a place
to come and learn.
937
00:40:53,843 --> 00:40:56,378
The life is back in this room.
938
00:41:08,958 --> 00:41:11,126
Kingston Springs
has more than hope.
939
00:41:11,194 --> 00:41:13,128
We have our pride back too.
940
00:41:13,196 --> 00:41:15,197
Our students are gonna expound...
941
00:41:15,265 --> 00:41:16,798
on any test that's ever been given,
942
00:41:16,866 --> 00:41:18,901
because they're proud
of their new school.
943
00:41:19,630 --> 00:41:24,443
