This third-grader used his Make-A-Wish for a school pizza party

When the Make-A-Wish folks in South Dakota asked Javier Amos what he wanted, they might have expected the usual: a trip to Disney World, a meeting with a favorite celebrity. Instead, the 9-year-old gave a response they'd never gotten before. He wanted a gigantic pizza party for his school.

Javier is now in remission in his battle against leukemia, and he wanted to celebrate with all his friends. And did they ever celebrate!

Javier and his family arrived at the party in a police car, sirens wailing. With the entire student body chanting his name, Javier walked through a tunnel of friends and supporters who cheered and waved signs with congratulatory wishes. After the pizza, the kids partied for two hours with a bounce house, laser tag, an inflatable slide,
zoo animals, and games. 

Javier was definitely the teacher that day.
