An Elf Murder Mystery…
Some parents of students at a British elementary school are complaining after finding out about a certain Holiday assignment…
8- and 9-year-old students at Flowery Field Elementary School in England, arrived for class to find a crime scene had been set up in a classroom, complete with the outline of the “murder scene” involving an Elf on the Shelf.
“There was a crime scene in one of the classrooms,” a mother of a fourth-grade student told the Manchester Evening News.
“There was police tape and a table had been knocked over, and there were blood smeared on one of the tables,” she said. “The idea was Elf had been murdered by another Elf. My daughter came home and she was absolutely traumatized.”
“I’m not the only parent who felt like that. A lot of the kids in Year 4 were unsettled by it,” she said.
The school says that this is meant to be a fun project for the kids and they have no intention to shut it down.
