Carolina Panthers player Cam Newton was filming his upcoming TV show near Davidson, N.C., when he noticed a group of students playing football at the Community School of Davidson.

As reported by the Charlotte ABC affiliate WSOC-TV, one student in particular was wearing his #1 jersey, prompting Newton to stop at the playground. The QB stopped and asked their teacher could he hop the fence and join in with them, resulting in a joyous reaction from the seventh graders.

“I saw one girl crying and hyperventilating and when I asked, ‘Honey what’s wrong?’ she said, ‘That was just the best moment of my life,” said the teacher, Mimi Siadak.

After Newton’s visit, they wrote notes to Newton to thank him for visiting. One of them thanked Newton for being an inspiration for him, writing, “I am in a hard place in my life, because my parents are getting divorced. But to me you are now a symbol of hope and that even when things go bad there is always happiness.”
