  • Friday, March 23, 2018

Officials say students at Nolan Elementary School on Signal Mountain are okay after discovering a bag that contained meth.

The incident happened on Friday afternoon during a reading fair. 

Principal Dr.

Shane Harwood sent this message to parents:

"Good Afternoon Nolan Families - We wanted to share some information related to an event that has taken place at Nolan this afternoon. During a related arts library class during our summer reading "book fair, a few of our students found a small bag of a powdery substance in one of the book bins.

"The students reported the substance to the teacher, but in doing so, some of those students were exposed to the substance. Not knowing what the substance was, the Signal Mountain Police Department was immediately notified to test the substance and to begin their investigation. Upon testing the substance, the substance is believed to be meth.

"As part of precautionary procedures, the library was closed off and an investigation was started. Paramedics were also called to the school to assess the children who were exposed and those parents have been contacted. Moving forward, the investigation will continue as to where the substance came from and the building will be treated as needed.

"We want everyone to know that all of our students are safe and that afternoon dismissal for SMMHS and Nolan will take place as normal."
