Mission, Texas- It might not have been her Prince Charming, but he received a kiss none-the-less, from O’Grady Elementary School principal, Patricia Deanda. During a special assembly, Deanda planted one on the snout of George the Pig. She had promised students if the campus met their reading goal for this year, she would kiss a pig. The students not only reached the goal of 60 million words read, they have gone quite a ways beyond that.
The pig kissing was tied in with a Charlotte’s Web theme as this will be the book used as a part of Texas Reads One Book. Students and staff dressed as pigs or spiders and also kicked off their reading of the book.
