Third grade teacher becomes playground legend after sinking basketball shot.
During a December recess break, kids at Holy Trinity School gathered around excitedly as third grade teacher Kathleen Fitzpatrick, known as Ms. Fitz, readied herself on the 3-point line.
With little to no warm-up and while wearing jeans, Fitzpatrick was tossed the ball by a student wearing a reindeer costume. All eyes were on her, as she dribbled four times before leaping forward, letting the ball fly into the air. "Afterwards I was thinking, 'Wouldn't it make more sense if I missed it, then they get the hot chocolate?''" Fitzpatrick joked to TODAY.
"I remember our social media person had screenshotted five comments on the video and sent it to me," Fitzpatrick said, adding the video was originally posted on a Sunday night."Some were parents I recognized, I have their children in my class. It was awesome, and just those five comments made my night."
