Oct. 17, 2024 – As she stood outside her school, sixth-grader Ariana Arcos was near tears, and with her lip quivering as she said, “I don’t know what’s going on right now.”
Meanwhile, seventh-grader Sophia Lieva explained the buzz going around school. “People took edibles and they got really sick.” “There were a lot of people throwing up and yeah…all of sudden there were firetrucks, ambulances and police. I was scared.”
After receiving an email saying that “a group of students may have consumed a banned substance…with harmful side effects of a controlled substance,” parents came racing to the school.
“Of course, I dropped everything and came here,” one parent told FOX 11.
Another parent said they “started crying immediately,” while a third parent said, “I’ve had a hard time reaching my kids. I haven’t heard from them yet.”
Officials continue working to determine what the 17 students ingested.
Two students were hospitalized, and the others were treated at the scene and released to their parents.
