Several Bremen middle school students are speaking out in gratitude after a man paid nearly a hundred dollars for their meal in Warsaw following a competition.

The act of kindness took place last week, giving the Bremen’s Discovery FFA chapter a surprise at the Steak n Shake in Warsaw. The group and their advisor told WNDU its made a big impact on them.

The Bremen’s Discover FFA Advisor Shannon Verhaeghe says Thanksgiving isn’t the only time of year we need to think about paying it forward, but it’s a perfect time for her students to learn this lesson.
