Anthony has been working at Hickerson for 15 years though he has been around in the school district for nearly 30 years, another kindergarten teacher Amy Hershman said. She said the children loved Anthony so much that they learned the song in only five minutes before giving him the surprise. Anthony was so touched that he even said that he would go to Hollywood next because he is famous now, ABC News reported.
The man was indeed famous as a video of the incident went viral on social media and received huge attention.
