Parents,
Wethersfield and Annawan School Districts were made aware of a post on the non-school affiliated football barstool page that contained a series of pictures. This post was in reference to tomorrow’s football game and that it is “almost Friday.” Among the pictures was an old picture of a student holding a gun. Because of the picture, the post was reported to the police, the student that made the post has been identified, the post has been removed, and it has been determined that it was not intended as a threat to either school.
If you have children in your home that utilize social media, please take this as an opportunity to discuss with them what is appropriate and what is inappropriate to post on their platforms.
Thank you.
Dr. Brooks and Mr. Bryan
