One teacher at Lewisville Elementary School went above and beyond for one of her students.Mrs. Lori Norman has been with the Lewisville family for nearly 13 years. After learning about Mighty Maeson's heroic journey battling leukemia during the first week of school, Mrs. Norman said she and her students smothered him with love.Maeson was initially diagnosed with Leukemia in 2019, Ashley Sutton, his mother said. He then successfully completed treatments in fall of 2021, relapsed in spring of 2022, and underwent the newest treatments available that fall. Unfortunately, Mighty Maeson had to go back to the hospital for treatment. He received his bone marrow transplant in March of 2023. Although he was not physically in the classroom, Mrs. Norman said his presence was still there. "Just before Maeson left he introduced us to 'Maeson Monkey,' it is part of a program called Monkey in My Chair," Mrs. Norman said. "Our class carries the life-size stuffed animal around wherever we go ( field trips, lunch, playground)."Maeson Monkey became a stand-in for Maeson. "Mrs. Norman has ensured that Mighty Maeson stayed in the hearts and minds of his friends all year long," said Sutton, Maeson's mother. "As his parents, it fills our hearts to bursting to see so many loving on not just Maeson, but his big sister Josi as well."The class decided to make the signs Tuesday since Mighty Maeson was being discharged the following day. Mrs. Norman's family helped her place them in his front yard later that evening.When Mighty Maeson came back from the hospital, he was met with encouraging signs in his front yard that Mrs. Norman and her kindergarten class had made prior to his arrival."This was a complete surprise!" Maeson's mother said.Mrs. Norman said each of the 17 students made their own individual sign whether they referred to a sample she made, or came up with their original saying. She said they always had a saying:"God is Great and Maeson is Mighty!" Mrs. Norman said she wanted Maeson to know he is loved. "I wanted Maeson to see and feel our love," Mrs. Norman said. "The Monster Squad classroom has been praying for Maeson over the last 10 months so they were thrilled to hear that he was finally coming home from his bone marrow transplant."When asked what she hopes people take away from this sweet gesture, Mrs. Norman said she hopes to encourage others to spread love."It is my prayer that Maeson will remember the love of his peers and that his peers will remember how wonderful it felt to show God's love to a friend. The world needs more love and we often miss opportunities to show Jesus to others," she said. Maeson's mother said they found out that his transplant was a success, and he is leukemia free. His medical team said he should be able to return to school sometime after the first semester.
