Students Sign 'Happy Birthday' to Deaf Custodian

Get outta here. Stop it. I mean, don't stop it. Keep going. It's adorable.

Students at Hickerson Elementary School in Nashville, Tennessee wanted to do something special for their custodian, Mr. James. His real name is James Anthony.

He's been a custodian at the school for 15 years and worked in the industry for 30. He can often be seen teaching the students sign language.

On his birthday, the students wanted to do something special for him. So the kindergartners learned how to sign Happy Birthday...and surprised Mr. James.

Mr. James was brought to tears, as you can see from the video. And we're pretty sure we're crying now, too.
