Last Friday at Montclair's Glenfield Middle School, three kids got caught holding the bag. Tipsters say their kids came home with tales about boys doling out samples of pot to students - from one of the boys' bathrooms - and getting busted.
We also heard from a reliable source that one of the three boys caught with grass was let go because the contents of his bag turned out to be actual grass clippings. The two boys caught with the contraband were suspended for two weeks.
Neither Montclair PD nor school officials would comment, however principal Alex Anemone sent the following letter home to parents.
November 14, 2008 Dear Parents:This morning it was brought to my attention that some Glenfield students had drugs in their possession. The students were escorted to the office, questioned by administration and ultimately admitted that the earlier report was correct and turned in their contraband.
The Montclair Police Department was called; the students were removed from the building, and their parents were notified of the incident. Please make an effort to transform this unfortunate incident into a teachable moment and utilize school and community resources to improve lines of communication with your children. According to health.com, "Efforts to prevent teen substance abuse should begin early in a child's life with drug education, encouragement of healthy behaviors, and good family communication." The report continues, "Typically, experts recommend that when alcohol or drug use is suspected, parents look for a pattern or a number of changes in appearance and/or behavior." We thank you, as always, for your support.
If you would like to discuss this matter in greater detail, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Alex Anemone

This is a hybrid. This is a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Blugrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sinsemilla.
Dude, who put the grass in my weed?
I find it reassuring to note that you're in your own usual gas bag mode this morn, JG.
"the three boys caught with grass was let go because the contents of his bag turned out to be actual grass clippings". These Boys were proably just having fun, Goofing around. Boy's being Boy's and some little Mama's boy ran like a girl out of the bathroom and Tattletaled.
We have kids barely into puberty blazing some 'schwag'.
Somebody should tell the boys that smoking weed can cause them to grow little titties.
For real..
Cathar, I am honored to be held in such esteem by the Grand Poo-bah of gas bags himself.
Excellent idea, Mellon.
No "esteem," jerseygurl, merely rue and wonder that you consistently imagine that your mediocre imaginings constitute something interesting to say and for others to read.
That a local high school had a minor drug incident which merits a post, however, does strike me as somewhat of a hint that a slow news day looms.
I'm guessing that Franklin and Phineas got pinched, but Fat Freddy got off since he had the grass clippings.
Sometimes a slow news day is what we all need.
Usually, a fast news day means trouble.
I like slooooow newwwwws daaaaaays, cause then we can comment on stuff like 'man titties'.
You want news, cathar? I'll give you news. The frickin' world is ending.
Can we go back to little boys with grass clippings now?
Bush just signed a law extending unemployment insurance. That should tell you something.
Plenty of bad news out there.
The news I'd like to hear:
Stock Market Posts Gain of 40 Percent in a Single Day!
Alan Greenspan Levitates From Congressional Hearing to Heaven, Takes Place At Right Hand of Lord.
Walleroo Announces Early Retirement on 401(k) Earnings. "I'm in the black," he says. "Or the pink. Whatever."
You're more likely to hear GM, Ford and Chrysler file for bankruptcy and lay off millions of auto workers.

First, the CEO's will have to take their hats out of their hands put them back on their heads. Ride the limo's back to their individual private jets and fly back to Detroit.
snitches get stitches. I dont know what is more appalling. The fact taht 10 year olds are dealing drugs (whether it is real or not, I blame the DARE program for education these kids on it) or the fact that there are tattle tales running around acting like hall monitors
Thanks for that cold, hard slap of reality, jerseygurl. Bracing. Can you kick me in the ass now please? Thanks.
Sure. Bend over.
I said kick me, not check my prostate.
Perhaps we can just agree not to mention anything about the goddam economy or how in 2009 I'm going to lose what little I have left and have to send my kids to China instead of college so they can send back yuan to keep us afloat. Can we just not bring that up? Thanks.
jimmytown: you are seriously unhappy that fellow students may have narc'd on these kids? What is so great about the no-snitching culture? How would you prefer to address the "appalling" "fact that 10 year olds are dealing drugs" in a middle school? BTW, they were more likely to be 13; I think they were 8th graders.
So one kids grass was grass, were the other two kids selling real drugs?
Anyone ever see the movie Kids? or Thirteen? It's scary how advanced the youngins are now.
SS teacher caught Boy1 dealing in hallway. Boy1 gave up names of others.
Unfortunately, some got off scott free.
Some with dealing.
Others were talked into taking a free bag to try and got caught with the evidence.
Glenfield has a problem.

This narcotic incident is further proof that this great God fearing land of ours is going down the tubes. Where's Sarah Palin when we need her?
Sarah is too busy gleefully presiding over a turkey death camp to pay much attention to anything else (indeed, about as much attention as she was paying to what was going on behind her).
Alex Anemone? Sounds like a character on SpongeBob SquarePants.
sailmom, why does Glenfield have a problem? A lot of the middle school kids meet up after school "uptown" or in Anderson Park and engage in those behaviors.The town has a problem with the kids this age. By the way, the ring leader of the pot selling has only been at glenfield since sept. He came from Mt. Hebron, after causing two years worth of problems there. Did you also know Mt Hebron has a ban on certain water bottles? The kids were were bringing vodka and gin to school saying it was water.
Each school has its set of issues, but this drug and drinking stuff is not exclusive to Glenfield, and it's unfair for you to say, "Glenfield has problems."
Kids did the same stuff when I was in middle school in the late 80s, early 90s. (weed, vodka in water bottles)
We mostly turned out fine.
Some of my classmates are even very successful, lawyers and CEOs, and business owners, etc.
Let's not give up on these kids over this. I'm sure we've all made foolish choices in our yester years.
Isn't Glenfield the school that offers the course "Boxcutting 101"?
The headline, "grassbags" made me think that some inventive kids were trying to re-build recess indoors. For the uninformed, despite being located in the middle of a big beautiful park, there is no recess at Glenfield.
The Glenfield kids need a supervised recess. Help them learn to play well with others, appropriately.
So of course, the gardener in me, mourning the demise of the growing season, perked up at the headline. I need some grass clippings for my compost, and I got excited that there was a place to get some.
Ohwhatagooseiam.
I am certain things happen at most middle schools including my own. And yes, many turned out just fine.
However, I do not remember anyone doling out free weed in hopes of getting future customers. I think there is a word for that and it is not dealing!! Therefore, yes, Glenfield has a problem! I hope Montclair's other middle schools do not have this problem.
Haha, good point, that sounds like something out of an after school special! Unless the bags being given out were the ones with grass clippings, then it sounds like a kids idea of a joke. Probably not so much Glenfield's problem as the problem of two or three kids (and their parents?)?
