High school girl enlists New York Jets' help to ask friend to prom

Well, here's one way to get a boy's attention to ask him to prom, if he's a New York Jets fan.

Sarah Kardonsky of Division Avenue High School at Levittown, N.Y., decided to go all out with her #promposal. She asked her friend, Michael Pagano, to prom by getting multiple Jets players, including cornerback Antonio Cromartie, to film a video, with every one of them asking Michael to go to prom with Sarah.

(UPDATE: The story gets even better. Kardonsky told NJ.com that Pagano has autism, and asked her to prom first. Kardonsky had a date, she told NJ.com, but "I talked to my other date who was okay with me doing this and i wanted to make it special for him!")

Here's guessing a simple note would have worked too, but this is a pretty impressive effort. Here's the video she posted on Facebook, which was played in her class.

 

The Jets retweeted the reaction shot to the video, which had to add to what must have been a pretty surreal day for Michael and Sarah.

So there are two truths following Sarah's gesture: It created a memory both students will remember forever, and nobody at Division Avenue High School is ever, ever beating Sarah's #promposal. And also, nice job by the Jets to make it happen.
