Carrie Underwood Duets with Lucky 5th Grader - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

There was no sign of back-to-school blues at Checotah High School Friday morning when Carrie Underwood surprised her Alma mater.

Underwood, 26, the Academy of Country Music's Entertainer of the Year, presented 31 instruments – ranging from an oboe to an electric guitar and worth nearly $120,000 – to fifth through twelfth grade music students in Checotah, Okla., schools.

"If everybody did stuff like this, not even on a grand scale, for whatever community they're a part of, the world would be awesome," Underwood told PEOPLE after the event. "Especially if you give to schools, because funding is getting cut left and right, the music and art programs are the first to go. To me those are some of the most important [programs]."

Carrie is a very giving person. It's great that she gives back to her hometown.

This is why Carrie friggin' rocks! I follow her on Twitter and she didn't even mention this. She doesn't flaunt what she does.
