WATCH: Teachers in Waltham Have Some Kind Words For Students

WALTHAM, MA – We remember those special teachers we had growing up – the ones who challenged and inspired us, who movies like "Stand and Deliver" and "Dead Poets Society" are made about.

But what did we mean to them? Were we one of a set, a name on an attendance list, shuffled through their classrooms for a nine-month stretch before fading back into anonymity?

For educators at Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall School in Waltham, the respect and admiration is mutual. In a video posted just before the holidays, teachers shared what it is about their students that inspires them most.

The video captures the students' reactions as they receive personalized messages of kindness from their teachers.
