Good Morning America picked up a story about Tamarack Elementary in Owensboro, Kentucky.  The students tricked the custodian, Ricky Young, with a "clean up in the gym" call to get him to come to his own PEP RALLY.  February 14th was Mr. Ricky day and, well, you just need to follow the link to get more information than the guys had time for on the show today.
