The Somerset Independent School District posted a video of the gift-giving on Facebook, where it had been viewed more than 5 million times by Wednesday, and shared more than 90,000 times. The district is located in Somerset, Tex., which is about 20 miles from San Antonio.
"When I watch that video, I feel a sense of pride," said Somerset Mayor Lydia Hernandez, who also works at the school. "Not only to be proud to work at the school district and know that our students are so amazing and so kindhearted. But (for) the community as well. Because our students grow up to be adults that live in the community. It speaks volumes for the type of community that we are.
"We always say that we're a small community with a big heart. And that video truly is the definition of Somerset and who we strive to be here."
