Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson celebrated an English teacher’s retirement and Teacher Appreciation Week with a sweet video message.
It all started when a fellow teacher, Noah Ashbrook, launched a social media campaign to get Carol Propst an autograph from Johnson. Carol was retiring from teaching at a high school in Bristol, Virginia after 39 years and she’s a big fan of The Rock.
Noah tweeted the star for 70 straight days to get his attention.
So this is Carol Propst, the best teacher we have in Bristol, VA. This is her last year before retirement. How many tweets will it take to get @TheRock to send us a an autograph for this amazing woman. #propstrocks pic.twitter.com/b1SECQq9Pi

It worked! Johnson recorded a video for Propst and sent along a gift.
Day 71. So do I now send our 70 days of thank you tweets to @TheRock? To understand the whole story you first need to see his video he sent to @PropstMiss. I’m editing her reaction video and will post it soon. pic.twitter.com/Sqcin0cOUM

So it happened. I’ll tell the story in a series of tweets but @TheRock reached out to us to surprise @PropstMiss. @news5wcyb videoed it and will run a segment about it tonight at 10. THANK YOU to Dwayne Johnson! Thank you to @garyskeen01 for his major role in this. #propstrocks https://t.co/aVojzFIUcg pic.twitter.com/o4nhmHc4bc
