A Florida elementary school teacher has followed through on a promise to kiss a pig after raising the most money for cancer research, observers said.

Second grade teacher Laura Carter of Trapnell Elementary School in Plant City, Fla., puckered up Friday and kissed a potbellied pig to the thunderous applause of more than 500 students, the Tampa (Fla.) Tribune reported.

Carter was carrying on a yearly tradition at the school and its efforts to raise money for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, wherein the person who collects the most pledges gets the honor of kissing Miss Piggy, the newspaper said.

After collecting $1,167.60 in pledges and kissing the 65-pound porker, Carter told the Tribune, It was real slimy.
