Señora Youngman is headed to “The Ellen Degeneres Show.”

Students of Kathryn Youngman, a popular Pendleton High School Spanish teacher, started a Twitter campaign last month to get Youngman on “Ellen.” The teacher, who is fighting cancer for the third time, has expressed a desire to meet the comedienne because of DeGeneres’s positivity and how she ends the show by exhorting her audience to be kind. The #YoungmanOnEllen campaign trended and attracted thousands of tweets from students, professional athletes, politicians and others from around the world.
