Georgia students stage fake cafeteria fight to surprise principal on 51st birthday
Inside the lunchroom, a crowd of students stood with their phones raised around two boys, which appeared to confirm the warning. Davis grabbed one of the students and tried to pull the two boys apart.
Cheers filled the room instead. Smiling students and faculty members clapped along while singing "Happy Birthday." Moments later, the principal was embracing students and leaping into their arms amid the cafeteria celebration. Video of the surprise travelled widely online, collecting millions of views on social media and drawing affection from strangers.
