Haase decided that cowboy boots and a hat wasn't enough, she went to school dressed as a bottle of ranch dressing, the Argus Leader reported.

Her take on the theme caught the attention of Hidden Valley, the company that invented the popular dressing.

Hidden Valley sent Haase a box full of ranch dressing and other gifts. It also made a $500 donation to a scholarship in her name for a friend who died in March.

Haase said she chose the unusual costume to honor her friend Brittany Corcoran.
