“Rendell and Ms. Frances, could you please report to the cafeteria?” the loudspeaker requested, according to the Charleston Gazette-Mail.
Frances assumed she was being called to complete a task but couldn’t believe it when she opened the doors and saw what was waiting for her.
The students cheered and wished her well, and presents were brought out into the hall. The school had also worked on a mini film that included Frances’ face in various famous events that she had lived through.
She was treated like a queen, complete with her own sash and tiara.
Frances revealed that the only gifts she had received growing up were fruits and nuts when her family could afford it.
“Oh, it’s a great big party. I appreciate it, I’ve never had nobody do this for me,” a delighted Frances said.
