Finding Ulysses

My oldest son is a first-grader in the elementary school. Will he be searched tomorrow? Why? The threatening notes and firecracker were found in the middle school on more than one occasion. No elementary school student would have been able to access the middle school – not even an enterprising fourth grader.

I think our village has gotten a little bit rumor-happy in relation to this incident. We’re getting skittish, all over a slightly enhanced firecracker. If I were a middle-school prankster, that’s exactly the reaction I’d be hoping for.

At approximately 9:30 pm, Mr. Tangorra was notified that upon further investigation it was determined that the device had contained small pellets of metal, BB-like, and could have caused injury had students or adults been in the bathroom when the device was detonated.
