A kindergarten class at Hickerson Elementary School surprised their school’s longtime custodian for his 60th birthday by singing to him — in Sign Language.
The Tennessean reports the class posted a video of the surprise on Facebook Tuesday.
It shows custodian James Anthony laughing in disbelief and bringing his hands to his head as the children signed the “Happy Birthday” song.
Anthony has worked for the Coffee County school system since 1991 and is hearing-impaired, but he can read lips. The children learned the song with the help of a teacher, teacher’s aide and nurse.
