Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence made a surprise appearance at a Cleveland-area high school Thursday. 

A group of government students at Cleveland Heights High School got to meet Lawrence, who joined the non-partisan grassroots anti-corruption organization Represent.US for a surprise visit to the school. 

Thirty Heights High juniors and seniors participated in the discussion. 

“It was really amazing how informed Ms. Lawrence is about politics,” said senior Londyn Crenshaw. “It makes a big difference when people who are just 10 years older than us come to talk about political issues. When she said ‘this is your time,’ that really made me think. I have been involved in my community and will continue to be involved in grassroots activism because it’s important.”
