You might not think that a school janitor would get rock star treatment from students, but that is exactly how the kids at Alan Shephard Elementary School in Bourbonnais, IL think of Steve Weidner. He is the school's custodian, and has been there for more than 15 years. 
 
 He was out on the playground on June 2, while students were spending some time before school let out to sign each others yearbooks. 
 
 The kids started lining up to have "Mr. Steve" sign their yearbooks. So many of the children wanted him to sign their books that someone got him a chair, and a line of children formed to the left. The line for his signature was so long that it wound around the playground. 
 
 The school tells News 10 that "Mr. Steve" is very popular with the students, and he looks out for them. They say he was touched and amazed by the show of affection from the students. 
 
 The photo was posted on the social sharing site Reddit, where it quickly got to the top of the site's front page, getting thousands of upvotes and comments. ||||| LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - A Little Rock high school posted a sign on Facebook six days ago, and it has now been shared more than 110,000 times. 
 
 The message tells parents to turn around at the front door if they're bringing something for their son. 
 
 It's the second day of school, and senior Patrick Wingfield is already hard at work in class. 
 
 He knows just what is expected of him in his final year at Catholic High School for Boys. 
 
 But as a freshman he wasn't sure. 
 
 "I had ideas, and then during the opening pep rally Mr. Straessle addressed the whole student body and let us know the rules," said Wingfield. 
 
 While they may be strict, Wingfield said he's gotten used to them. 
 
 "I was kinda shocked, but after a couple years here I understood why it was a rule." 
 
 It's one rule that has gone viral on social media. 
 
 "We put a sign up on the front door to not only alert new parents to the policy, but to remind people why we do it," said Principal Steve Straessle. 
 
 Straessle had a picture posted on the Catholic High School for Boys Facebook page last Wednesday. 
 
 "If you are dropping off your son's forgotten lunch, books, homework, equipment, etc., please turn around and exit the building. Your son will learn to problem-solve." 
 
 That post shared more than 110,000 times as of Tuesday evening. 
 
 Straessle said, "It's simply to help boys avoid the default switch of calling mom and dad when things don't go right to bail them out." 
 
 Parents sounded off on Facebook, "Give kids a break!" 
 
 While others wrote, "You learn by taking responsibility, not by escaping it." 
 
 And that's what Straessle said is the whole goal of the school. Which Wingfield agreed with, 
 
 "It makes me think for myself and not rely on other people to do things for me. And if I make a mistake, I need to learn from it and try to fix it," said Wingfield. 
 
 The most common theme surfacing on Facebook is concern kids who forget their lunch are going to starve at school, but the principal said that won't happen. No one will starve because they know how to problem solve.
– A sweet yearbook-signing photo seems to have won over the Internet. It shows students at Alan Shepard Elementary School in Bourbonnais, Illinois, lining up to have "Mr. Steve"—aka Steve Weidner, the school custodian—sign their books. “He pays attention to the kids," principal Shirley Padera tells WGN. “The kids know if anything happens, Mr. Steve is going to take care of it.” The school district first posted the photo on its Facebook page, saying Mr. Steve had attained "Rock Star status," and from there it got picked up at Reddit. As WILX explains, there was nothing staged about it. Weidner, who has been at the school for 15 years, was on the school playground June 2 when students were given some time to sign each other's books. "So many of the children wanted him to sign their books that someone got him a chair, and a line of children formed to the left," it adds. No word from Weidner himself, but the school says he was touched by the outpouring. (Elsewhere, a teacher was inspired by his students' anonymous notes.)
