"Seeing a teacher that honestly and genuinely cares about their students and works to relate to them and act as a friend is rare, especially with all the added stress this year with COVID," Griffin Morris, a student in Holbrook’s class at Conner High School in Kentucky, told Stephanie Weaver with FOX Televisions Stations.
"We all had come to love him as a teacher and decided to show him that we felt that way. The decision to do something was unanimous."
