New Jersey School Goes into Lockdown Mode Over… Wait for it… A Deer
In what can only be described as the most thrilling and exhilarating news story of the year, a New Jersey school recently went into temporary lockdown when a deer came knocking on the glass door. That’s right, folks—a deer! And not just any deer, but an unwanted visitor who had the nerve to knock on the door and interrupt the everyday workings of this prestigious institution.
Sources say that the deer in question was a male, middle-aged, and likely very lost. He was spotted outside the school, just inches away from the door, where he reportedly stood staring in with his beady little eyes. The school went into lockdown mode shortly thereafter, with teachers and students directing their attention to the deer instead of the lesson at hand. Because, let’s face it—what’s more important than a deer on school property?
Many students were understandably excited by this turn of events, taking to social media to share their thoughts and feelings on the matter. One student, who asked to remain anonymous, said, “I couldn’t believe it when I heard there was a deer outside. I mean, it’s a deer! I’ve never seen one of those before.” Another student, who also wished to remain anonymous (apparently, fear of retaliation runs rampant in this school), added, “I was so scared. I thought the deer was going to come in and attack us all. Thank goodness we went into lockdown.”
But not everyone was thrilled with the deer’s appearance. Some parents expressed concern over the school’s handling of the situation, claiming that it was an overreaction and that there was no real threat. “You mean to tell me that a deer caused an entire school to lock down? Come on,” said one parent, who also wished to remain anonymous (seriously, what’s with all the secrecy?). “I understand safety measures and all, but this is just ridiculous.”
Despite the mixed reactions, everyone can agree that this deer made quite the impression on the school. Even the custodian, who typically does his best to avoid any sort of commotion, admitted that he was intrigued by the deer’s presence. “I’ve seen a lot of things in my time, but I never thought I’d see a deer knocking on a school door,” he said. “It’s almost poetic, if you think about it.”
All in all, this deer’s brief visit to the New Jersey school caused quite the stir. Some people were thrilled, while others were less so. But one thing’s for sure—this deer won’t soon be forgotten. In fact, there are already rumors that a statue will be erected in his honor, to commemorate the day when a simple deer made us all stop and take notice.
