Some kid at my girls' high school got his dad to fly a helicopter over the football field and drop a teddy bear with a dance invitation to a girl who played on the football team (kicker, I think).
The cruel ironies:
-The girl turned down the invitation, and
-The dad lost his job
You can read about it here:

I don't know if they're Mormon, but it would sure fit the "we've gotta be the 'best'" premise. My understanding is that the principal with whom the dad arranged it is Mormon, as are quite a few other faculty and administrators in the school.
