Deer emulated Bambi on slippery school floor

On Monday, a deer broke through a front window at J.T. Henley Middle School in Crozet, Virginia, but had trouble keeping its footing on the school's slippery floor.



Phil Giaramita, strategic communications officer for Albemarle County Public Schools, said the mid-sized male deer came through one of the front windows at about 3pm.

It was in the building for about a minute, slipping and sliding in a style reminiscent of the frozen pond scene from the 1942 Disney film Bambi, before staff member Mr Souradji Issotou grabbed its hind legs and guided it out a door. “It picked a good day,” Giaramita said.

“Students were off Monday and most teachers were at another location for professional development training. There was very sparse staff at all of our schools.” He said nothing like this has happened at any of the division’s schools before, and staff members think the deer may have been reacting to its reflection in the window.
