"Coming in this morning and just seeing the level of devastation and what not it was a little disheartening. But then just seeing my students rally behind me and then getting them to help me clear out the debris safely. I didn't want them near any walls that were still partially leaning or anything like that," said Jonathan Yani, Leigh's theater program director.

Both the students and parents pitched in.
