Ms. Giberson took to TikTok for a follow up where she explained that she got a call from Kelce during the middle of the school day with an offer to pay for the class to get to the Linc.
“Did not expect to get a call from Kylie [Kelce] while I was at school. I did not know what to say and it was probably embarrassing," Ms. Giberson said in the video.
The 40 students who got to tour the Linc on Thursday were all seniors in their capstone class, and it was all thanks to their teacher with help from the one and only Kylie Kelce.
While at the Linc, the students got a surprise visit by Eagles star Brandon Graham while touring the locker room.
Graham talked with the students and encouraged them to go to college. He told them that's where he got to meet new people and interact with those that are different from him.
“Take a chance. You don’t know what’s going to happen but you can’t give up, can’t quit," Graham said. “Whatever you do, just make sure you go hard at it.”
