Nov. 9, 2001 – Addelita Cancryn Junior High School students were evacuated from the school for the second time in four hours Friday, and for the fourth time in three days.
Shortly after noon, the students were once again marching down the road from the school to the Frenchtown Joseph Aubain ballpark.
"Ridiculous," has been the word of the day, and it continued. "I just don't know," said assistant principal Selassie Francis, who was herding the students down the road for the second time Friday, trying to keep them out of the way of passing traffic. One student in crutches held onto the arm of his teacher as he trekked down the street in the noon sun.
School was over for Friday."We're sending them back to the school to get their things and get out as quickly as possible," Francis said. "The call came in a little after noon this time."
A teacher accompanying the students said, "I'm beginning to wonder when it will end. Look at the kids – this is awful."
A return call from Deputy Chief Theodore Carty had not been received at publication time.
