This teacher’s post about a gift from a student with ‘nothing to give’ but Lucky Charms marshmallows went viral

Rachel Uretsky-Pratt is an elementary school teacher in Kennewick, Washington, so this time of year she gets a lot of gifts from students: chocolates, notes, jewelry.

But one stood out to her so much that she took a picture and put it up on social media. The gifts are especially meaningful to her, she said, because many of her students' families struggle financially.

She explained: "With it being the day before break and Christmas right around the corner, most teachers bring their kiddos something such as books or little treats and occasionally in return receive something from their students," she wrote on Facebook on Wednesday.
