Senior prank causes ‘adorable chaos’ at Pierce County school with pets, siblings
When seniors at Orting High School came to school Tuesday morning, they brought chaos that could be described as “adorable.”
“Today’s senior prank was meant to cause some fun chaos this morning. Seniors began to arrive with pets and young siblings in tow and cars parked all over the place,” according to the high school in a Facebook post.
Erin Sluka, a secretary at the high school, told The News Tribune via email that Tuesday was traditional prank and checkout day for the seniors. It had already been a busy week on campus and hectic in the front office for graduation.
“Cuddling kittens and seeing the littles was a fun start to our day! However, we could not keep young children and pets on campus, and they had to be picked up in 1st period, this prank brought nothing but smiles. They created the chaos they wanted as a prank, but it was the most adorable chaos ever!” Sluka wrote.
Seniors also took over the parking lot by leaving their cars cattywampus, all over the place, photos on the school’s Facebook post showed. When buses arrived, the prank was a bit of a “wrench” for administrators, according to Sluka.
“As harmless as it was, it did take up spots needed as students arrived closer to bell time and buses were coming and going in the same lot. We are a small school and know our students fairly well, so locating the owners of the cars was quick, and they willingly moved them back to start the school day. No tardies were handed out as they corrected their parking - they were all good sports about it!” she wrote.
Students either called their homes or they were allowed to sign out if their parents allowed it so they could bring their siblings and pets back home.
It was “the most clever senior prank and memory,” she said.
