The rodent frequently visiting several South Florida kindergarten classrooms isn't quite as cuddly and cute as Mickey Mouse and doesn't have teachers smiling like Chuck E. Cheese.
Broward County School officials have been forced to evacuate eight classrooms at Tamarac Elementary because of a severe rat problem, reports the Sun-Sentinel.
The rodents have overrun the kindergarten area of the school, forcing the students to a cleaner learning environment in another area. Luckily, students are about to be released for winter break, which gives school officials a couple of weeks to get the rats under control.
School board officials said dozens of the disease carrying animals have already been caught in glue traps and conventional mouse traps, but many more have been seen scurrying about.
It's unclear how the vermin got into the school and were able to spread undetected, but it's clear they weren't trying to get a leg up on their ABCs.
Letting a few cats have a Christmas feast during the break may be in order.
