   Three high school seniors from Callisburg, Texas, learned that an 80-year-   
   old janitor at their school didn't have enough money to retire, so they   
   decided to help him out.   
      
   The trio — Greyson Thurman, Marti Yousko and Banner Tidwell — from   
   Callisburg High School launched a GoFundMe campaign on Feb. 15 that   
   generated more than 8,000 donations totaling about $260,000. Most of the   
   donations came from Callisburg students and staff, the students said.   
      
   "It's amazing," Callisburg High Principal Jason Hooper told CBS affiliate   
   KXII. "The need that was met because of three kind kids — of all of our   
   students who pitched in to meet that need," he said.   
      
   Callisburg is a rural town near the Oklahoma border and has a population   
   of roughly 300 people. The school district, with an annual budget of $12.5   
   million, consists of two school campuses, including a total enrollment of   
   nearly 1,150 students, 86 teachers and 164 staff members.   
      
   The campaign for Mr. James went viral after Thurman posted a video on   
   TikTok of the octogenarian cleaning a hallway. The video was accompanied   
   by ambient music and text that included a link to a GoFundMe page.   
      
   "This is our 80 y/o janitor who had his rent raised and had to come back   
   to work. Let's help Mr. James out," the post read. "No one his age should   
   have to be cleaning our messes up to continue to live."   
      
   The video drew nearly 3,500 "likes" and 250 comments. Students closed the   
   GoFundMe campaign on Friday.
