Buffalo Creek Academy shoe story

- In the heart of the Old First Ward stands Buffalo Creek Academy, a charter school where students are guided by four core principles.
"Leadership, integrity, focus, and excellence," Dean of Culture Bryant Brown Jr. said in describing the life values that are instilled in students at the grade 5-8 school on South Park Avenue.
In a main corridor of the building, students pass beneath signs extolling those values every day.
Among the student body are two seventh graders, Romello Early and Melvin Anderson, who are the best of friends.
Recently, Melvin had been showing up to school wearing shoes that were falling apart and which, when noticed by other kids, drew ridicule.
"I could tell it was upsetting him," said Romello, despite Melvin's best efforts to mask that. "It just put a real bad ache in my stomach to see somebody have to go through that, and to be to be picked on just based off appearance."
Romello decided to do something about it.
"I had saved up my allowance, and so I asked my mom to take me to the shoe store to get Melvin some shoes, and the next day I came and gave them to him," Romello said.

So heart-touching, this friendship right there is FOREVER. 😢 ❤️
It did bring me to tears. Was once in that same position. Kudos young brother
What an amazing story. This just made my day.
It sounds as if they truly are "guided by [their school's] four core principles of •Leadership •Integrity •Focus and •Excellence"!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
God bless both of those young men and their families!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This story had me in tears . I was once that kid going to school and got bullied because of the type of shoes. My shoes were called rejects . Unfortunately I had no friend like Melo . I took the bully all through junior high until I graduated. Melo is a wonderful soul and we need more people out here to show they care for others. Wish many blessings coming for Melo and his friend.
The kind of world i want for my children. A kind one
You are truly an forever amazing & absolutely beautiful friend...stay focused young man never ❤️💯
I See This As A Hero☺️

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽
MY CUSION
W mello
Can someone get me in touch with Melvin or vice versa... I customize shoes and would like to make some for him.
Nah...thats bogus!
The better thing would be to wear torn up shoes too!
You want to deatroy the material nature of the students not just allow him to participate in the vanity.
As usual society gets backwards
