Surprise!

Quite honestly, the most epic surprise celebrations I've experienced firsthand are ones I myself have organized. What can I tell you - I love surprising people, and I go all out!

But today, it's my pleasure to give credit to another group of party planners.

Without help from adults, the 10th graders planned and executed a well-acted diversion to get me far enough away from my classroom door that they could slip inside with the birthday cake and Coca-Cola that are essential to birthday parties here.

Felt pretty darn good.
