CB Superintendent Goes Ape
Dr. Rodney Green donned a furry costume to surprise some Central Bucks students.
They sat on the floor of their classroom, staring at the furry ape in the chair.
The "ape" was reading "The Escape of Marvin the Ape," about an ape who escapes from a zoo. But the kids had no idea who was inside the costume.
