Chester Upland school teacher Sara Ferguson got more than she bargained for when she made an appearance on the “Ellen” show yesterday.
Comic and talk host Ellen DeGeneres had noticed Ferguson when she was a guest of First Lady Michelle Obama at the State of the Union Address.

DeGeneres presented Ferguson with a check for $100,000 by way of a foundation set up by JC Penney.
