Kathleen Fitzpatrick sank an NBA three-pointer and her third graders reaped the reward.

Her students don't know Kathleen Fitzpatrick played Division I basketball in the Big-10.  They don't know her career spanned high school and another college.

All they know is that hot chocolate tasted good.

Fitzpatrick,now a teacher at Holy Trinity in Georgetown, promised her third grade students that if she sank an NBA range three pointer, they'd have hot chocolate on Monday morning before Christmas.

The video now has almost three million views after the school posted a video to their Facebook page.  Fitzpatrick has been featured on ESPN, CBS, NBC and several other national outlets.

For a little Christmas joy, just watch the kids response when she sinks it.
