LA VERGNE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Mother's Day has come and gone for this year, but there's just one more story we had to share. We've told you about the Young Men of Distinction program at La Vergne Middle School.
You've met these young men before -- they're part of the Young Men of Distinction program at LaVergne Middle School.
The focus of the program is to teach these young men about leadership, responsibility, respect and responsibility.
"It has a special place in someone else's heart when they feel appreciated as well," said eighth grader Chukwudi Obi.
So with Mother's Day being on a Sunday, these students still made it a priority to honor their mother's in a special way on Monday.
"That love between you and your mom -- it's a bond that does not break," said Dr. Andres Rischer, the program's leader.
Students stood up, escorted their mothers, pulled the chair out, opened doors and even served them lunch. These young men even wrote letters to their moms, which they shared with them in-person.
"You're willing to love me even when I wronged you," one student told his mother.
"Listening to these young men tell their stories to us — it brought tears to all of our eyes," said one mother.
Watch these young men host this ceremony in the video player above.

My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
