QuoteThey might not have gotten the most votes, but the eighth-graders at San Miguel School of Tulsa are still going to Florida this summer.
The class was one of four national finalists in the "Today" show's Wizarding World of Harry Potter contest. The class with the most votes was to win a trip to Universal Studios in Orlando.
A first-grade class from an elementary school in San Antonio received the most online votes, but Universal Studios is sending all four classes to the theme park for the opening of the Harry Potter attraction June 18.
"We knew the other schools were good competition," said eighth-grade math teacher Anna Sullivan. "The kids had this suspicion that something good was going to happen."
Eighth-grader Osvaldo Olmos, 14, said he's looking forward to going to Florida to spend time with his friends.
"I think it's great. In my mind I thought we all deserved it," Olmos said. "It's really awesome that they could do that for us."
Classes were asked to make a video explaining why their class was extraordinary. The videos of the four finalists were posted on the show's website and people could vote online for their favorite.
