Jennifer Lopez made graduation day very special for a lucky group of Staten Island, New York, elementary school students Tuesday.

The star dropped into P.S. 37, a school for autistic children, on Tuesday, where she performed "Let's Get Loud" for a group of eight 10- and 11-year-olds, the Associated Press reports.

Teacher Kathy Amati told the AP that after her students saw a video of the song, they wanted to watch it every day, learn the lyrics, and practice Lopez's dance moves.

Inspired, they wrote letters to Lopez, who was so charmed that she decided to come to their graduation.
