A life-size cow sculpture has disappeared from a Brooklyn school.

Art teacher Deborah Glassman said she noticed the cow was missing when she arrived for work Monday at Seth Low Intermediate School.

The boosted bovine was part of the 2000 CowParade art project.

It was among 500 original sculptures decorated by artists and students throughout the city.

The school bought the cow. Glassman and her students painted it white and wrote the word "peace" in green letters in 17 languages.

Glassman said the art project was an inspiration to the kids.

The mysterious theft left some of them distraught.
