A Pleasant Prom Night Surprise

Maria Schnepf couldn't believe the news delivered by the waitress. Schnepf and 12 of her Lakeland High classmates had finished their prom dinner at Embers by the Lake, a woodfire artisan pizza restaurant on Hauser Lake, when waitress Anna Hammons informed the group that their meal had been paid for by an anonymous couple. "We were all taken back by it," Schnepf said. "There were several people there who were specifically attentive to us. We definitely felt loved." The students estimated that the total bill would have been around $300. Hammons said the students then helped pay it forward by leaving her a "very generous" tip. "There's a lot of bad stuff going on in the world, but these amazing acts of kindness are a reminder that we live in a good place with good people," she said/Brian Walker, Coeur d'Alene Press.
