As A kid did you ever bring treats to school?


A fifth-grader in New Mexico brought some candy into school to share with friends -- and turned her elementary school into a high school.

The nine-year-old brought a box of gummy candies into school and passed them around to her classmates. A short while later, kids began complaining about feeling dizzy and blurred vision. The nurse asked the girl what she'd eaten and was shown an empty box of marijuana edibles. An announcement was then made over the loudspeaker asking anyone who'd eaten the candy to come to the nurse's office.

Six kids ate the candy and felt sick. Teachers called their parents and had paramedics come to the school. Fortunately, none of the kids have any lasting effects. School officials say the pot edibles belonged to the student's grandfather. It's not known if any charges will be filed.

Al started out his presentation by reviewing how the weather has been so far this fall and winter, and compared it to last year. This year’s La Nina event is much stronger than last year and expected to last longer.
Many people have commented on the recent stretch of dry weather we've been seeing in our region of Nebraska as of late, but Dutcher explained we received almost all of our fall precipitation during the month of October. 
Al said the La Nina pattern will keep dry conditions south of Nebraska, which will continue to expand the  drought in those areas. 
Dutcher says when looking at the La Nina event that we are currently experie…
