Fourteen students at a Penn Hills Elementary School were suspended last week for playing with so-called “happy crack” — a mixture of Kool-Aid and sugar.
KDKA’s Ralph Iannotti report the students were playing with Kool-Aid and sugar in a zip-loc bag at school. Sources say that fourteen students were suspended last week at Shenandoah Elementary School in the Penn Hills School District.
Those suspensions lasted a minimum of three days.
School officials said the students were mimicking drug activity and they wanted it brought to the attention of parents.
“I have no intentions whatsoever of letting a thing like this haunt my child,” said parent Denise Brown Bey. “The principal did inform me that it was more than just my child. So my outrage is not simply because of my child, but because of all of the children.”
Denise Brown Bey was stunned when her 11 year old son Johnathan, a Shenandoah Elementary School fifth grader, brought home a disciplinary notice letting her know that her son was being suspended.
“We’re talking about something that, number one, is completely harmless,” she said. “And long before they attached this kind of name to it, children have been mixing sugar and Kool-Aid for a very long period of time.”
Two Penn Hills School Board members we spoke to said they were unaware of the issue until now. They were both shocked by the harsh discipline being handed down.
“I think that we should have been notified with 14 kids being suspended for one incident,” said board member Carolyn Faggioli. “If they are going to suspend them for that, they had better step back and look at their priorities,” said board member Erin Vecchio.
KDKA tried to get in touch with someone with the school administration, but no one returned our calls. The Penn Hills public relations’ contact is on vacation until next week.
This is the same school district where A child was expelled last week for bringing a plastic squirt gun to school.
Lol, this has to be the funniest thing I have read in a while!
Thats hilarious!! Happy Crack!! What the hell is the school on!! ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!! WHAT THE HELL DO THEY EXPECT!!! THESE KIDS SHOULD BE BOUNCING OFF THE WALL FROM THE SUGAR HIGH!!! hahahahaha
I could only imagine how they are at the breaks!! A bunch super human, and super energy kids running around!!
wallah….I dont know what to say. The first thing that comes to mind is, 9ij Amreekan. Second, I don’t whether the actions the school took were appropriate or not. Reason why is because I always compare what ever happens over there to the schools in Kuwait. Imagine if that happened in one of the private schools or better yet, government school? Would this issue even be worthy to be a story to write about? Honestly, Kids get fuckin suspended and expelled all the fuckin time! WHO THE FUCK CARES?! Just because some idiots decided to play gangsters in school and pretend to be cool in front of the other ignorant Amereican kids, they shouldnt even be getting this kind of attention in the first place because now they think they are real thugs because they got mentioned on the news! I swear man, America creates a shitload of problems in their society without fixing the ones that are already there. And if they got bored, they’ll create another problem similar to this one in another part of the world, remember the “yellow cake” with Saddam?!
What that school needs is some serious corporal punishment to the set the kids straight!
What is wrong schools nnow these days i did the same thing and got supened for it’s not fair because poeple before my time did the same thing i know life isn’t fair but that was a stupid action.
