Somerset HS Students Surprise Classmate with Christmas Shoes***** UPDATE***** We found out from JR's family that he does have shoes that fit him, but he refuses to stop wearing the boots of his beloved grandfather, since his grandfather can no longer wear them. JR was wearing the boots (size 10 1/2) the day he told the boys that he really needed a size 13! But that's how all this Christmas season of giving good cheer got started!! ***************************** Feeling the Holiday blues? Not after you see this clip. Somerset HS student JR Gilbert wears size 10 shoes, but his foot is actually a size 13. So fellow Somerset Bulldogs students raised money to surprise JR on Friday, December 15 with not one but TWO brand new pairs of sneakers that are the right size for Christmas! Grab a tissue... because THIS is the Magic of Christmas! 🎅🏼🎄 #BulldogNation #GiftOfGiving
