Seaholm Seniors Make Mess with Stink Bombs, Syrup, Shaving Cream

BIRMINGHAM, MI – Several Seaholm High School students were injured after exuberant graduating seniors left a sticky gooey mess in the halls Thursday, school administrators said in an email to parents.

“A very large portion of senior class crossed boundaries with their fun that led to not just a mess, but a safety hazard,” Principal Rachel M. Guinn said in an email that was co-signed by Assistant Principals Ali Hamka, Kyle Hall and Verynda Strought.

“The shaving cream, Silly String, water balloons, syrup, soap and stink bombs prevented students from being able to walk safely to classes," they wrote. “Several students sustained injuries and staff were compromised.”

District support services were called just to get the area safe enough for dismissal, they said.

As a result, school officials abruptly cancelled Thursday night’s evening dinner for the Seaholm Class of 2016. Ticketholders will get refunds.

They said it is their “sincere hope is that when see one another again for commencement rehearsals, we can expect respectful behavior in preparation for such a significant event in their lives.”

Seaholm’s graduation will be held from 1-4 p.m. on Sunday, June 5.

School officials were not immediately available for comment.
