Why did Principal had lunch with a second grade student in recess

School friends are the friends for lifetime as they know us inside out. We always dream to live our school life when we get old and we have lots of our memories from school so that we can share with others.

Lucy Taylor a second grade student did not had any company with her when she was having lunch in the recess. The reason for this was she was having Cerebral Palsy. The main symptoms in these are poor coordination, stiff muscles, weak muscles, and tremors. There are also problems with sensation, vision, hearing, swallowing, and speaking for a person who has cerebral palsy.
The children from second grade only want to play and have fun all the time. Lucy could not play due to her condition so other children did not used to spend time with her they where with the children who could play with them and enjoy doing that.
As every mother would fell that other children should play with their kids Lucy's mother also felt the same way. She also wanted her child to enjoy the school life,have lunch with other children. So Daun Elizabeth Taylor made a facebook post about the struggles of her daughter and just wanted to share her story with others. It was not that she was complaining about other children but wanted to have a little change in her daughter's life.
Her post was spotted by the principal of the elementary school Jeremy Thompson. He knew exactly what he was going to do the next day and was waiting for the next day recess. The next day as the recess bell rang he went out to Lucy and started to have lunch with her. Lucy was on the top of the sky with happiness as she could not believe that principal was having lunch with her. As since a very long time she had a company with her when she was having a lunch.
Principal not only had dinner with her but also played with her after the lunch. He also wanted to assure that Lucy should will not have lunch alone he made a group of youngsters and named the group as "Bubble Club".

Now Lucy has many playground friends . Lucy's mother Daun is so happy for her daughter that she praised the principal in the facebook post and want to tell us that the confidence level of Lucy is up to a new level and she is feeling more happy than before to go to school.
All the credits goes to the principal and the Bubble club members. Furthermore, since their story caught the attention of local reporter, Lucy and Thompson have become social media role models for other school staffers and lonely youngsters.
“A number of parents have reached out to us whose children are also struggling and Lucy has started sending out T-shirts and bubbles and hand-written notes to kiddos who would benefit from being part of the Bubble Squad. She has taken her struggle and tried to use it to help others,” she continued.
