Police say the nun was cutting trees to clear the roadways around Archbishop Coleman Carroll High School near Miami. Sister Margaret Ann is the school's principal, according to its website.

Police say "acts of kindness" like Sister Margaret Ann's remind residents that they're all part of the same community.

Word of Sister Margaret Ann's efforts spurred others in the community to pitch in clearing debris as well, says CBS Miami.
