Elementary school teachers in Florida found a surprise new student waiting for them on campus Wednesday morning.
An 8-foot, 2-inch alligator was found by a custodian at the Palm View Elementary School in Palmetto, Fla., according to The Bradenton Herald. It was found before students had arrived for their second-to-last day of school, based on the district calendar.
