Vandalism

Our school was vandalized last night. Someone scrawled on the walls in marker, wrote all over our students' portraits (we have a portrait wall), tore apart several bulletin boards, tossed water on my students' work on my bulletin boards, and trashed the hallways with dirt and sand from some science kits they found in a storage closet. Needless to say, it was a disheartening scene to find when we arrived at school this morning.

Both our school and the other school in the building had afterschool programs and parent meetings last night, so it is hard to know who did it. Our kids seemed as surprised as we were and there was no gossip among the students about any of them knowing who the culprit might be, so we suspect that it was students from the other school's afterschool program or children who were with their parents for that school's parent meeting.

The rest of the building was not vandalized, only our hallways and bulletin boards.
