Card’s email was sent Tuesday to parents, as well as an email to Lakota East parents from Principal Suzanna Davis.
“We have great kids at Lakota West,” Card wrote. “Unfortunately, this is the time of year when great kids sometimes make bad decisions.”
Card said the event is not a school-sanctioned or organized event. Over the years, students have developed rules to avoid being hit by Nerf guns, including no shooting at school or while in the nude in public, according to Card.
In the email sent by Davis, she detailed an incident last year in which a group of students were involved in an accident and subsequently arrested for being nude at the time.
“Anytime there are kids chasing other kids in cars, we are concerned,” Card said. “Lakota West does not condone this activity because of the potential for bad decisions that could put kids in harm’s way.”
Card said he encourages local businesses to record license plate numbers of vehicles participating in Nerf Wars in their parking lots, and to call police.
“We want to avoid our students finding themselves in this type of legal situation,” Davis wrote.
