WESLEY CHAPEL --

On Wednesday, students at Seven Oaks Elementary School were surprised with a visit from two VIPs, Jordin Sparks, "American Idol" winner, and Albert Haynesworth, defensive tackle from the Tennessee Titans.

Sparks made a guest appearance on the Eagle Eye News program, which is produced by Seven Oaks elementary students each morning. The students were surprised when Sparks announced over the intercom system, "This is Jordin Sparks, please turn to channel 6 for Eagle Eye News."

Sparks also talked in a school assembly about the importance of following your dreams.

Seven Oaks Elementary students also were excited to meet Haynesworth, who urged students to study and work hard in school. Haynesworth and Sparks took questions from the excited students. Several students commented that they will never forget Wednesday, a day when two very busy people took time out of their schedules to visit with elementary students.
