Inspired by Michael Jackson and Indiana Jones
Evergreen Elementary fifth-grader Donovan Klein said that a fellow student introduced him to Michael Jackson's "Thriller," which kicked off a fascination with the King of Pop.

Name: Donovan Klein
Grade: 5th
School: Evergreen Elementary School
Accomplishment: Donovan showed off his moves during the Evergreen Elementary Talent Show last week, paying homage to Michael Jackson with a dance arranged to MJ's "Billie Jean." Donovan said he found out about the King of Pop after Jackson's death hit the media and after a friend introduced him to "Thriller" in the fourth grade.
Key to Awesomeness: Donovan said he's only performed his dance moves at weddings before and that he came up with the routine on his own, with inspiration from MJ's original video.
