(VIDEO) Steve Sanger Offers Words of Wisdom to Edina Grads

Steve Sanger, a science teacher at , was all set to address the class of 2012 during their commencement ceremony at Target Center.

That is, until his wife went into labor.

So instead of being on hand at the 2012 ceremony, Sanger donned a cap and gown and pre-recorded his speech for the graduating class.

"This is a fantastic class, a fantastic group of students, and as a teacher I couldn't ask for a better group of students to work with," Sanger said.

If you happened to miss out on viewing the pre-recorded speech at commencement—much like Mr. Sanger—we've embedded it above for your viewing pleasure. And while you're at it, of the festivities.
