Nolan Middle School faculty member smooches livestock

Carrie Rainwater can now check something unique off her bucket list.

She kissed a cow, 4-month-old Cammie.

"Pucker up!" Nolan Middle students said to Rainwater, the school's student support specialist.

Rainwater smooched the calf Dec. 7 to reward students for collecting 1,250 canned goods for the Future Farmers of America's (FFA) canned food drive.

A perk of collecting food for the drive, which ends Thursday, students get to watch a faculty member kiss a pig or cow for every 250 cans collected.

The school's goal is to collect 2,500 cans. If students reach the goal, Principal Scot Boice will kiss an animal.

"It was pretty funny to watch," seventh-grader Jackson Dugmore said. "It will be really funny, though, to see Mr. Boice kiss an animal."
