Two Georgia teachers become internet sensations

Although it has been a few months since two teachers Georgia were featured on an episode of Good Morning America (GMA), I just stumbled across this story on You Tube today. The story of these colleagues, who have since become internet sensations, is so inspirational, I wanted to share it with you today.

The teachers, Audrianna Williams and Callie Evans, work at Monroe Comprehensive High School in Atlanta. Last August, these Chalkboard Champions created a rap video for their students to generate enthusiasm for a new year of online learning. The video was a remake of the song “What’s Poppin’,” originally penned by rap star Jack Harlow.

When Audrianna and Callie were interviewed on Good Morning America, they were surprised by a greeting from the rapper. “I grew up with teachers who had a huge influence on me all my life,” Harlow told the delighted teachers. “What y’all provide to society is invaluable,” he continued. “Thank you for making my song better.”

Here’s the GMA interview, and a snippet of the original rap video. Enjoy.
