Ellen Gives This Heroic Kindergarten Teacher the Surprise Of Her Life

March 21, 2015

Sonya Romero is a kindergarten teacher at Lew Wallace Elementary in Albuquerque, New Mexico, who will do anything to help her students. Every morning, she asks them if they need anything to eat or need any clothes to wear, and she takes money out of her own pocket to care for them.

"I feel like, as educators, we're sort of the first responders," she said.

When two of her students were deeply in need, she stepped up in a way that nobody could have expected.
