EDMOND -

An Edmond Public Schools teacher said yes to the love of her life in the middle of her kindergarten classroom this week.

Frontier Elementary kindergarten teacher Julie Bargas was shocked when her students helped with her engagement.

The front office summoned Bargas to get her out of her classroom and when she returned, her students were lined up outside of her classroom and each handed her a tiny ring.

Then she walked inside her classroom where her fiancé, Josh, was down on one knee holding flowers.

Josh asked Ms. Bargas to marry him in front of her coworkers and all the students.

Julie said yes, and Josh brought Ring Pops for the entire class as a celebration.
