Sanjaya pays Snohomish a visit (HeraldNet)

Students at Cathcart Elementary School in Snohomish got a surprise visit last week from former "American Idol" contestant Sanjaya Malakar.

The 17-year-old from Federal Way has two cousins who attend the school.

Sanjaya, who was voted off the Fox TV program in April, visited a PE class, signed autographs and answered questions during an assembly.

He also sang a song, but school staff were asked by his agent not to discuss which one.
