A Florida teacher discovered that most of her students had never seen snow so she did what any logical Floridian would do. She had her sister mail her class a snowman from Kentucky.
Robin Hughes is a special education teacher at South Shore Academy in Tampa and she explained that when she learned that only two of her kindergarten students had ever seen snow, she contacted her sister, Amber Estes, who lives in Danville, Kentucky with an unusual idea.
Estes built a snowman she named "Lucky," in the hopes that the frozen sculpture would make it to Florida before melting.
"So we put him inside the packaging, we wrapped him up in that foil, and we put ice packs in, we sealed him up, there was Styrofoam around the box. Off he went down to the local ups store," Estes said.
Hughes said she was overjoyed to see the looks of "pure joy" on her students' faces.
