SPRINGFIELD, Tennessee — Teachers at a Westside Elementary in Springfield, Tenn. got a surprise visitor early Tuesday morning.

The agency said the buck's age ranged from 2 and a half to 3 and a half years old. 

The buck did make a small mess in the classroom but was in "good spirits" - even so much so for a quick photo opportunity.

The TWRA said teachers at Westside Elementary plan to teach the four Rs instead of three, and that's "Reading, Righting, Rithmetic, and Rut."
