Six seniors have been suspended and one custodian fired after administrators say a senior prank went too far.
"We Post-it noted the entire front lobby everywhere around school... windows and the hallways and stuff,"said Clayton High School Senior Class President Saxton Archer.
That's what a group of seniors had hoped the students at Cascade High School in Clayton would see when they walked into school Tuesday morning. Instead thousands, upon thousands of sticky notes that took hours to put up the night before, had been taken down.
"I walked in the front doors and saw it all gone and I was shocked," remembered salutatorian Justine Weatherman.
And one-by-one five seniors and one junior were called into the principal's office and suspended for the rest of the week.
Mill Creek Community School Superintendent Patrick Spray said it's because they were trespassing.
"The students accessed the building when they weren't supposed to be in the building," he said.
But the students said they had permission from several employees at the school, were given a key to the school by a school board member and even had a custodian with them the entire time.
"She supervised and made sure nothing wrong happened and she just got fired over it,"said Chase Wilson, Junior.
But Superintendent Spray said none of that matters and he is sticking to the suspensions.
"We don't know what could have happened or what may have happened and we are fortunate in this incident that it didn't go worse."
Spray saidthe students will still be able to walk through graduation provided they don't get into any other sticky situations by May 23.

You have got to be kidding me? That guy needs to get a life........Being an ex-teacher and administrator, I would have found it funny......Some of my kids did worse then that but it was still a harmless prank... The Superintendent should be given a month off without pay instead of suspending the kids.....
If a board member okayed it, and some adult gave them the key, then the guilt should be on the board member and the adult who gave them the key.....not the custodian and not the kids....
Yet, you can have kids assault teachers and aides....break and vandalize things and they just get a slap on the wrist and are allowed back in school.....
Our education system is is real trouble and I feel sorry for the kids....these students were very creative and look how much "out of pocket" money they spent just to have fun.....what's the big deal....Hey, the teacher's could take the sticky notes down and use them for their own.

I understand those suspensions have been lifted. Someone had some sense.

"We don't know what could have happened or what may have happened and we are fortunate in this incident that it didn't go worse." - HA. Holy crap, I am laughing so hard right now. Seriously? They were kids, under adult supervision, simply sticking Post-It notes all over the place as a joke. "What could have happened?" Hmm, I don't know? Maybe everyone could have just had fun and pulled a harmless prank and then gone about their business otherwise? Somebody get this Superintendant to a proctologist, stat. He has a serious case of "stick-up-one's-azz" syndrome and needs it removed immediately!
