He used the help of nearly 20 volunteers at the Sky View High School (SVHS) in Smithfield, Utah to distribute the flowers to all the female students.

Hayden Godfrey posted the mammoth amount of flowers on Facebook, writing: "So I did a thing today.
"Today I passed out 900 carnations, one to every girl at SVHS and it was totally worth it. I don`t think anything can compare to seeing every girl in your life holding a flower as they walk through the halls."
He told a local news channel that he had been planning the event for a while.
When he was a freshman in the school, he used to pass out 20 to 30 flowers, to make sure as many people as possible could have a Valentine.
The teenager had purchased the flowers through an online flower store and used his own savings for the purchase.
The gesture was apparently worth the cash - people responded warmly on Facebook.

“Thank you so much! You are incredible!!! I will never forget what you did for every girl in the school today!!” one student told Godfrey on Facebook.
“Thank you so much!! It quite literally made my life this week,” said another.
Another person said: "This is so impressive to me Hayden! I remember many Valentine`s days as a teenager where other girls were getting gifts and I didn`t. It wasn`t fun. Your example not only touches those who received a flower, but all of us who hear and read about it."
