Students at Arrowhead Elementary surpassed their Read-A-Thon goal of 233,000 minutes this year, breaking the school’s previous record.

Their reward? They got to watch their principal, Pam Meier, kiss a cow during an assembly.

“I thought it was like a prank or something,” said fifth grader Declan Helmer. “I didn’t think she’d actually kiss a cow.”

The assembly also served as a bittersweet celebration for Meier, who is retiring at the end of the school year after 14 years as Arrowhead’s principal and nearly four decades in education.

“I've been here a long time, and it's been a joy to watch all of the families and kids go through Arrowhead, and this happens to be my last year. I will be retiring, so I thought, 'Why not go out with a bang?'" said Meier. "I will definitely miss the Arrowhead community."
