400 students showed up to sing to their teacher battling cancer
A little act of kindness can go a long way.
400 students and school faculty at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, Tennessee, showed up at their teacher, Ben Ellis', house to sing him hymns and religious songs as he is house-bound and battling cancer.
According to Leslie Ponder, who works at the school and shared a photo of the event on Facebook, said the students made the decision to go to Ellis' house themselves.

Country singer Tim McGraw was moved by seeing the extraordinary act as well and shared the video on social media (above). "A friend sent this to me today...Our thoughts and Prayers are with him and his family," he wrote on Facebook.
