Before a crowd of hundreds of children in the Brownsville Elementary gymnasium on March 31, school Principal Toby Tebo kissed a goat 21 times as part of a fundraiser for children in Kenya.

“It’s stinky,” he said of kissing the goat, which wore a bow and apparently had its teeth brushed before the smooch.

“I think the goat was a little nervous,” he said.

Tebo kissed the goat 21 times because the school raised enough money – $1,061 – enough to pay for 21 $50 goats for the Free the Children international charity.

Two other people besides Tebo kissed the goat. Music teacher Jeremy Dupea collected the most money in a fundraising contest and kissed the animal. Associated Student Body president Connor Huey, 12, also kissed the goat.
