A teacher at a high school in Texas told his students he couldn’t remember the last time he had received a birthday cake, so the students decided to gift him with a sweet surprise.
Kyle Simpler, 56, teaches English at Burleson High School in Burleson, Texas. When he walked into his classroom on Thursday, he was greeted by a collective "Happy Birthday!" as students approached him with gifts and cards, wished him a good birthday and began singing to him.
Simpler held back tears when he saw a cake the teenagers had brought for him and as he surveyed the classroom, which the students had decorated with streamers and balloons.
