The best kids in the world

My son has an allergy to red dye. His classmates who have been with him through kindergarten know and if anything red shows up in the classroom the kids take care of it. (He has autism). They will tell a teacher that John can't have that and if its only in the frosting you can scrape it off. That is why we keep him a that school. Even the kids help take care of him.
