Udderly Ridiculous: School Principal Milks Cow as Lady Gaga

Udderly Ridiculous: School Principal Milks Cow as Lady Gaga
22/06/2012 by Christine Erickson on Mashable

We may have found the coolest elementary school principal ever.

Roger Clap Innovation School’s Justin Vernon willingly accepted a bet with his students — even if it meant dressing up as Lady Gaga and milking a cow.

Vernon’s side of the bargain would only be met if his students read 10,000 books by the end of the term. The kids went above and beyond the quota, reading 13,000 books instead.

According to RCIS, the school enrolls nearly 150 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade.

“I couldn’t be any more proud of the students,” says a very glam Vernon in the video above.
