STILLWATER, Minn. — Morning announcements are usually pretty humdrum, not the pinnacle of a high school student’s day.
Friday proved the exception at Stillwater High School, however, thanks to a reader with SERIOUS star power.
Stillwater students were sitting at their desks for morning announcements when a familiar voice boomed over the intercom. “Good morning to the Stillwater Area High School students, this, as you might have guessed, is Dwayne Johnson, also known as ‘The Rock’ …”
Students across the school freaked out, but none as much as senior Katie Kelzenberg. You see, Katie asked Johnson to her prom via Twitter last week, not necessarily expecting a response. But she got one Friday, a message that left her flush-faced and overwhelmed.
“Katie, I’m sure you are soooooo embarrassed right now, but I just had to let you know how cool and awesome you are for inviting me to your prom,” he said.
Johnson thanked Katie for the invite, then explained he couldn’t attend because he is shooting a movie in Hawaii. He then revealed another surprise, one that left Katie speechless with her hands covering her mouth.
