Harper said, \u201cGo see the Booster team!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond honored by this request, our Atlanta team flew into action, canceling meetings and out of office team members driving 30 minutes to headquarters, because this is what it\u2019s all about at Booster! We popped the confetti, pumped the music and welcomed Harper back to the Booster family with cheers and high fives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have exceeded our expectations by far. Thank you all so much. Your legacy makes a huge difference and here\u2019s proof of it,\u201d Harper\u2019s dad Travis told the team.<\/p>\n<p>We may not have this type of opportunity with each student we come into contact with, but when given the chance, we will always make celebrating their accomplishments a priority.
