Grab some tissues, because some eyes are about to get a little watery around here!

Last week, hundreds of students showed up outside the Nashville home of teacher Ben Ellis to play instruments and sing for him in a moving display of affection.

Ellis has been teaching at the Christ Presbyterian Academy since 2008 and was diagnosed with cancer last year. According to People, his treatment, which included chemotherapy, was described as “extensive” by a school representative, but it didn’t stop Ellis from staying active in the community.

 

Get well soon, Mr. Ellis.
