Boy Buys Valentine’s Day Rose For Every Girl In His School So That They Don’t Feel Left Out

Around Valentine’s Day, the mushy stories of love and affection that come out can get a bit tiresome after a while. However, this is one Valentine’s story that I have a lot of time for.

A big-hearted schoolboy from the UK has bought all 68 of the girls in his year a rose, in order to make sure that none of them feel left out on the most romantic day of the year. In fact, he does it every year!

For the past few years, Callum Drew – who attends Lacey Gardens School in Louth, Lincolnshire – has worked at his grandma’s flower shop to earn money to pay for flowers so that all 68 girls in his school year have something to open on 14 February.

His grandma sadly passed away this year – but Callum was keen to keep his tradition going, the schoolboy has been washing cars instead to get the pocket money together.

While kids his age would usually spend their money on toys or candy, the eight-year-old is using his to buy every girl an everlasting silk rose, as he doesn’t want any girl to feel bad about herself. So sweet!

He explained: “I just wanted to get some flowers for the girls in year four as I don’t want them to feel let down on Valentine’s Day. I will go around every class and give them their present.

“I have done it before for the last four years. The girls jump on me and scream because they are happy.”

So, is Callum hoping to find a girlfriend from this display of compassion? Well, no, because the little gentleman already has one! Callum’s biggest gift is being reserved for his girlfriend, who he says is okay with him treating all the other girls.

Callum added: “I have got a girlfriend. I haven’t told her yet but she does know about it because I do it every year. She is happy about it.”

Callum’s mum, Stacey, says she is incredibly proud of her son for his consideration for other people’s feelings. So you should be, momma!

She said: “He’s been doing it for four years, he started out with just his class but now he gives roses to every girl in his year – he says that no girl should be left out. He’s also saved up and got a present for his girlfriend.

“This year is a bit different. He normally helped his grandmother in the flower shop to earn the money but she died last year – this year he has decided to wash cars.

“He has washed about ten cars and has a couple more booked in. He was outside from 9.30am until 4.30pm and even then I had to drag him in as it was getting dark. I’m really proud of him.”
