An elementary school teacher received a moving visit from her students this week as they serenaded her outside the hospital where she was being treated for stage 4 cancer.
Carol Mack of Greenfield, Wisconsin, sat at the entrance of Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center in Milwaukee while 26 children in grades 1-4 sang worship songs before being transferred to a hospice.
Mack also said goodbye to some of her student’s parents, whom she also taught, according to Aurora Health Care.

“It was overwhelming and very special,” Mack, 66, said in a press release. “I hope people see how much these kids and their teacher loved each other and how our school community came together.”
THE TEACHER’S VIRAL ‘BAND ASSISTANCE’ IS THE EASY WAY TO TEACH CHILDREN HONESTY

“It was the most beautiful, moving thing,” she said.
Before the cancer worsened, Mack, a 45-year-old educator, continued to teach while battling the disease.
