Indianapolis principal Jason Smith gives us the Feel Good Story we ALL need right now!




Johnny Dare Morning Show show

Summary: It seems like the news is just awful pretty much every day...which is why when a feel good story comes to our attention, you gotta point it out. Enter Jason Smith, principal of Stonybrook Intermediate and Middle School on the east side of Indianapolis . When an 8th grade student was sent to Principal Jason Smith's office last week for refusing to take off his hat, Smith asked the natural question: Why not?  “He just let me know his parents got him a haircut recently, but he didn't like how it came out," Smith said. "I'm assuming he just didn't want kids to laugh at him.” Instead of sending the student home, Smith pulled out his phone. He showed the boy photos of his son, whose hair he regularly cuts, and let the boy know he was no novice with a pair of clippers. Smith had been cutting hair for years and used to give his teammates haircuts before their high school and college basketball games. He offered to fix the boy's hairline, the boy and his parents agreed and Smith went home for his clippers.  And that simple case of kindness may change that kid's life. We got Mr. Smith on the phone because, let's face it, we need more good these days. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
