A Kentucky teacher is being hailed for going above and beyond the call of duty to bring a disabled student along on their field trip.

Ryan Neighbor's fourth grade class at Tully Elementary School had been preparing to go on a field trip to Falls of the Ohio State Park last week—and she was heartbroken over the prospect of missing out on the fun.

Since the 10-year-old youngster was born with spina bifida, she has relied on a wheelchair her entire life. This is not the first time that Ryan's disability has prevented her from attending field trips in the past, so her mother Shelly King began "preparing for an ‘alternate field trip day.'"

Thankfully, she didn't have to. Upon hearing about Ryan's plight, elementary school teacher Jim Freeman contacted the family "out of the blue" and offered to carry Ryan around on his back for the entire field trip.

True to his word, Freeman used a specialized backpack to carry the 55-pound youngster on his back across the park terrain—and Ryan was thrilled.

Since her mother shared photos of Freeman and Ryan on the field trip, they have been shared thousands of times.

"We are sooooo blessed to have an ENTIRE school that is so compassionate and empathetic and NEVER make her feel left out," King wrote on the Team Ryan Facebook page documenting her daughter's experiences with spina bifida. "These beautiful people should be shared with the world, to see and inspire."
