5 elementary school students found 2 million VND, asked teacher to find the owner to return it

Mr. Nguyen Le Cuong Dung - Principal of Kim Son Primary School (Kim Son town - Que Phong) said: "This morning, May 29, the school awarded Certificates of Merit and commended 5 students of class 5A1 for their achievements in picking up lost items and returning them to their owners."

Meeting the homeroom teacher of class 5A1 Hoang Thi Tuyet, we learned that the 5 students who just performed such a beautiful act are: Do Thi Thu Trang, Tran Trinh Ha Linh, Nguyen Thi Nguyet Nhu, Tran Thi Le Huyen and Phan Binh Nhat Nguyen.

According to the students, at around 8am on May 28, while cleaning the classroom and taking the trash to the bin outside the hallway to dump it, they saw a stack of envelopes and a bag containing test papers next to the bin. When they picked them up, they saw that the envelopes were open, and one of them contained cash. Counting 2 million VND, the group discussed bringing it into the classroom to give to the teacher to find the person who lost it.

The homeroom teacher of class 5A1 and 5 students found 2 million VND and returned it to the owner.

Ms. Hoang Thi Tuyet shared: "When the students brought in the envelopes of money and bags containing the test papers, I looked and knew that the money belonged to Ms. Ngo Thi Thuy's class, so I brought it to Ms. Thuy and reported it to the Board of Directors."

Ms. Tuyet also added that these 5 students are very good and study well in all subjects. Their good actions are worth praising for other students to learn from.

Contacting teacher Ngo Thi Thuy, who just received the lost money, Ms. Thuy said that during the school year, each student paid 500,000 VND for milk, and at the end of the year, the whole class had 2 million VND left. I received it and put it in the classroom cupboard to wait for the summary to be sent back to the children's parents. At the end of the year, I was cleaning up books and papers so I lost it without realizing it. It was not until the final settlement that I discovered the loss of the money. I had to use my salary to compensate for that amount. I was very happy to receive the money back, but what made me happier was the good deeds of the students./.
