A devoted and always smiling woman
Frances is a housekeeper much appreciated and esteemed by all the students and staff of the “Belle” elementary school where she works, in West Virginia, a state in the United States. She always came to work with a smile and a good attitude.
The students gave him a pleasant surprise
When the school staff discovered that she had a difficult childhood, they decided to organize something special for her.
Indeed, Frances had grown up in poverty. So there was never money to celebrate Christmas or birthdays. She was turning 77, but had never celebrated her birthday. Her family once tried to throw her a party, but “it was so cold and freezing, no one came.” When the elementary school staff heard regarding his story, they decided to throw him a birthday party. “The opportunity mightn’t have passed us by,” said Belle Elementary School Principal Amanda Mays.

One day following lunch, Frances and her co-worker Rendell Heater heard an announcement over the loudspeaker informing them that they needed to report to the cafeteria. Frances expected to find a mess to clean up, but instead she found a room with nearly 200 people, including staff and students, gathered in the cafeteria to celebrate the joyous event. .

The students welcomed her with applause and wished her a happy birthday, along with greetings. Gifts were also brought into the hallway. Frances revealed that the only gifts she received growing up were fruit and nuts when her family might afford them.

Frances was treated like a queen. Director Amanda reserved a padded armchair for her in the center of the room, acting as a throne, and gave her a crown and sash.

Trays of cupcakes were also set out. Two cupcakes were adorned with lit candles ready for Frances to blow out so she might make a wish. “Oh, it’s a big party. I appreciate it, I’ve never had anyone do that for me,” said Frances, delighted with the surprise in store for her. Indeed, emotion was at its peak for the elderly lady. She mightn’t stop smiling, even though she had tears in her eyes.
