Ormond Beach resident Ron Dick lives next to Tomoka Elementary, and as school came to an end, he discovered many thank-you notes attached to his fence.
Dick's yard backs up to the school's playground, he said in an email to the Observer. As a result, when the students play ball games near his fence, sometimes those balls end up in his yard.
"I have been given the honor of tossing back those balls that end up over the fence and in our yard," he said.
To show their appreciation, the students — and teacher Autumn Deemer — wrote thank you notes for him, attaching them to his side of the fence.
He wished to thank them for their kind act.
"Myself and Dixie, our dog, will miss them all until they return to their new school, as the school is being rebuilt," Dick said.
