That's why we wanted to do it. But my principal flipped out and was all "You can't bring live animals to school" and wah wah wah. Even though it was a summer program and adults were going to be present and we had the okay from two teachers and the supervisor... And they decided not to tell us until the last day of school so we had absolutely no time to fight it. But we're going to fight a lot harder for it this time.
