Kindergartener brings 100-year-old great grandpa to 100th day of school

A young girl's love for her great-grandfather has brought a new meaning to the traditional "100th day of school" celebration. In a heartwarming display of devotion, 5-year-old Emma from Georgia walked into her kindergarten classroom with one very special thing - her 100-year-old great-grandfather, Henry.

According to reports, many kindergarteners are celebrating this milestone by bringing 100 items to class, showcasing their knowledge and creativity. However, for Emma, it was personal. The two had become inseparable after Henry began accompanying Emma on her daily adventures.

In the video that accompanied the CBS News article, we see a tender moment between Emma and her grandfather. As they sit together in the classroom, surrounded by other students who have brought their 100 items, the focus shifts to the unique bond between a child and her senior citizen loved one.

The story highlights how this young girl has found a way to make the 100th day of school truly special for both herself and her grandfather.
 
🤗 I just love seeing kids spreading joy like Emma did! It's amazing that she got to share this milestone with her great-grandpa Henry - it's clear they're super close. Bringing a 100-year-old grandad to kindergarten is, um, not exactly the norm, but it just shows how much love and dedication they have for each other 🤝. And I think it's really cool that Emma got to share this experience with her friends too! It's a great reminder that family isn't just about blood ties - it's about the people who matter most ❤️.
 
🤣 Oh man, I've seen some weird things in my time online but this takes the cake... or should I say, it takes the 100-year-old great-grandfather who's rocking a kindergarten classroom 😂! Emma's got her great-grandpa Henry as her study buddy and I'm loving every minute of it. It's like she brought a mini grandpa to school to show everyone what 5-year-olds are really capable of 🤓. More importantly, I hope this trend keeps going because I wanna see more kids with their golden oldies rocking the classroom too! 👴🏻🎉
 
I love how Emma's great-grandfather is making the traditional celebration so much more meaningful 🤗. It shows us that even small moments with our loved ones can have a huge impact on kids (and let's be real, adults too 😊). I mean, who needs just 100 random items when you've got a century of love and memories to share? It's amazing how Henry is becoming an honorary classmate for Emma 📚. This is such a heartwarming story that'll put a smile on everyone's face ☀️!
 
🤣 This is just too cute! I mean, I've seen kids bring in their favorite toys or stuffed animals on the first day of school, but bringing grandma around at age 5? That's dedication 💁‍♀️! And can you imagine being a kindergarten teacher and having to deal with a tiny human refusing to leave her great-grandpa's side? 🤣 Either way, it's clear that Emma and Henry have a special bond, and I'm sure they'll make this tradition a yearly thing. Who needs a classroom full of toys when you've got a 100-year-old grandpa, right? 😊
 
IT'S AMAZING HOW SOME KIDS HAVE THE MOST SPECIAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS! i mean, who needs to bring 100 items to class when you have a GREAT-GRANDFATHER WHO CAN SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH YOU? Emma's story is so heartwarming and it just goes to show that family isn't just about blood ties... IT'S ABOUT THE LOVE AND CONNECTIONS WE SHARE WITH ONE ANOTHER 🤗😊
 
That's so sweet 🙏! I love how Emma made the celebration personal by bringing Henry along. It's not just about the tradition, but also about the love and connection between them 💕. It's amazing to see how something as simple as a 100th day of school can bring people together, especially across generations 👫.
 
omg I'm getting all teary eyed thinking about emma and her great-grandpa henry 🤧❤️, they're literally the definition of family goals! it's so beautiful that she got to share this special moment with him in kindergarten class 📚👵, I mean, who needs 100 items when you have a heart full of love? 😂 I'm sure her classmates were a bit jealous but honestly, who wouldn't want a grandma/grandpa like henry in their life? 🤗 the way they're all snuggled up together is just too cute for words 😍 I wish more kids had grandparents like that to spend quality time with, it's not often we see this kind of love and connection between generations 💕
 
🤕 Oh man, can you believe it? Some kids are gonna bring all these random stuff to class just to get extra credit, but then there's Emma and her great-grandad... that's just too sad 😔. I mean, 100 years old! What if Henry gets sick or worse in the classroom? 🤕 And what about his oxygen mask and walker? It's just too much stress on a 5-year-old girl to take care of an elderly person all day. Let them enjoy their kindergarten life without this added responsibility... it's just gonna be a mess 🚮
 
I love seeing more moments like this on the platform 🤗! It's amazing that Emma got to spend quality time with her great-grandpa in such a meaningful setting, surrounded by friends. It's so sweet how she brought him along, I'm sure he felt just as special as all the other kids' items. And it's really cool how this story humanizes the 100th day of school celebration – sometimes we forget that life is about more than just milestones and achievements 📚❤️
 
🤗👴🏻 This is just the sweetest thing! I love how Emma's great-grandfather, Henry, became such an important part of her daily adventures 🌞👫. It's amazing how kids can bring so much joy to their loved ones' lives ❤️. And honestly, who needs 100 items when you have a great-grandpa like that? 😂 The way Emma and Henry are together in the classroom just melts my heart ❤️. I think this is such a great reminder of the importance of intergenerational connections 📚👵👶. We should be encouraging more of these special bonds between kids and seniors! 👍

I think it's super cute that Emma brought her great-granddad Henry to class on his 100th birthday... I mean, the 100th day of school 🤗. It shows that she really values their time together, but at the same time, I'm worried about how this is gonna affect her learning experience? Like, isn't it a big deal for her to have someone else in class with all those kids? And what if Henry gets overwhelmed or needs some special care? But hey, it's clear that Emma and Henry are meant to be together, so I guess it's all worth it to see that smile on her face 😊.
 
aww that's so cute 🤗, I love how Emma made the 100th day celebration personal with Henry by her side, it's like she wanted him to be part of her milestone too... and look at those adorable pics! 👴🏻📸, a kid who's not afraid to show affection and love for her family member is something we can all learn from 😊.
 
I just think its so heartwarming to see Emma's love for her great-grandfather shining through. Thats what the 100th day of school is really all about - celebrating milestones & showing kids how important family is 🤗. I mean, who wouldn't want their grandpa at kindergarten?! Its a reminder that family ties know no age limits, and thats something we can all learn from 💕. Emma's story shows us that love & connection are what truly make life special, not just about academic achievements 💡.
 
I dunno if I'd be too cool with kids bringing old folks into kindergarten, you feel? I mean, Emma's great-grandpa is literally 100 years old - that's like, ancient history! It's not about celebrating the 100th day of school, it's about respecting your child's learning space and age boundaries. Plus, what if Henry's, like, got overwhelmed or needed some quiet time? I'm not saying Emma can't spend quality time with her grandpa, but bringing him to kindergarten might be a bit much... 🤔
 
🤩 This is so sweet! I love how Emma made the 100th day celebration about her great-grandpa Henry, not just some random stuff she picked up at home 🛍️. It's amazing how much love and connection you can form with someone from your past, even if they're only a couple of decades older than you 😊. And I'm sure Henry was beaming with pride seeing his little Emma all grown up 💕. The fact that this is becoming a thing in kindergartens, where kids are encouraged to bring 100 items, is genius 🤓! It's promoting creativity and sharing of memories, not just random stuff... although who knows, maybe it'll lead to some amazing stories like this one 😊
 
this is so heartwarming 🤗! i mean, who wouldn't want to spend their 100th day of school surrounded by love? it's amazing how emma was able to turn a traditional celebration into something so personal and meaningful for her and grandpa henry. i'm sure that moment when they sat together in class with all those other kids must've been just the best feeling ever 😊. it's great to see kids finding ways to connect with their loved ones and making memories like this 📚💕.
 
It's so beautiful to see kids making learning fun for themselves & their loved ones! 🤗 Emma's great-grandpa, Henry, is the ultimate example of that... bringing him to school not only shows how much she cares but also teaches her classmates about family & love. I'm loving this new spin on the 100th day tradition! 😊
 
I'm like totally touched by this story 🤩! It's amazing to see how Emma's love for her great-grandfather, Henry, has made this traditional celebration so much more meaningful. I think it's really sweet that she decided to bring him to school with her instead of just showing off 100 items in a jar. The fact that they've become inseparable after spending time together on their daily adventures is just heartwarming 💕. It shows us that age is just a number, and the love between family members can transcend generations 🌟. I wish more people could experience the joy of having someone like Henry in their lives - it's truly special 😊.
