Selena Gomez heads back to her middle school
The singer encouraged students to be kind to one another.
Selena Gomez made a surprise visit to her old school, Danny Jones Middle School in Mansfield, Texas, on Monday.
During her time at the school, the chart-topping artist, 27, met with students and showed her close friends and her team some of her old spots.
In a video posted by the Mansfield Independent School District, Gomez takes over the school’s PA system, announcing to the students, “Hello, students of Danny Jones Middle School, this is Selena Gomez talking to you.”
She also explains why she wanted to stop by in the video documenting the experience.
“This trip, I wanted to take my best friend Courtney and also some of my people from my label just to show them where I grew up and how proud I am of where I’m from,” she shares.
“Some of my teachers I got to see again, and they were part of my life for so long,” she adds.
According to a blog post from the school district, the singer is shooting a documentary about her early years.
