SMITHFIELD, Utah (AP) — Every girl at a Utah high school got flowers for Valentine's Day thanks to the generosity of a male classmate.
Seventeen-year-old Hayden Godfrey spent $450 on 900 carnations, ensuring that all 834 females at Sky View High School in Smithfield would get one.
He handed the flowers out Thursday to 50 classrooms.
Godfrey has randomly passed out flowers for Valentine's Day since he was a freshman but never to this scale.
The senior told The Herald Journal of Logan (http://bit.ly/1VcheoZ) that many girls feel depressed if they don't get anything on Feb. 14
He told school administrators about the plan a year and a half ago.
The teen worked as a cook and dishwasher at various fast food restaurants to save up enough money.
