Students at Weaverville Elementary welcomed a special visitor for a cow-lossal celebration to mark the end of the first nine weeks of the school year. Tucker, a highland cow from Lewis Farm Venue, came to meet and greet students. He was also there to help the principal keep a promise.
“I told our students since we’ve had a great start to the school year, and they did such a great job with the PTO fundraiser, that I would kiss the cow,” said Principal Billy Harrell, who got up close and personal with Tucker surrounded by a circle of kids chanting “kiss the cow!”
“It wasn’t as bad as I thought,” Mr. Harrell shared afterward. “His nose was pretty soft.”
Before Tucker left, he walked around the circle of students for pets and hugs.
