King For A Day: Kids Surprise Custodian

(WXIA) Students at Sand Hill Elementary in Carroll County, Georgia surprised their 83-year-old custodian with a send-off fit for a king on Friday.

That was John Lockett’s last day on the job, after working for the Carroll County School System for more than a decade.

Lockett was told to be at the school before the last bell rang, and had no idea that a line of students and teachers were waiting to thank him for a job well done. They draped him in a cape and gave him a crown – all in celebration of “Mr. John Day”.
