CHRISTMAS CAROL SURPRISE
Laurie Burpee, a second-grade teacher in Vancouver, Wash., was sitting in her home Monday night, resting before a chemotherapy appointment the next day, when she saw a light and then saw "little Santa hats" in her front yard.
"I thought there are kids out there and then I thought, there are a lot of kids out there," Burpee told "Good Morning America. "When I went to the door and saw they were kids from school, the tears started to flow."
Standing on Burpee's front lawn was a group of nearly 30 kids singing Christmas carols for their beloved teacher, who has been out on medical leave since October.
