ABSS Alert: A toy BB gun was taken from a student this morning at Turrentine. There were no BBs in the gun and no one harmed. We are taking appropriate disciplinary action and want you to help us. We want all students to understand that even toy weapons could unintentionally frighten others. Please remind your child any such items should never be brought to school. It takes all of us working together to keep our schools safe.
