Days after a reported vandalism at South Anchorage High School, the Anchorage School District is reporting another incident of vandalism at one of its facilities.
Friday, just after 8:30 a.m., staff at Rabbit Creek Elementary School called the Anchorage Police Department to report a break-in at one of the school’s relocatable classrooms.
Heidi Embley with ASD says someone broke a window and stole equipment from the relocatable, located at 13650 Lake Otis Pkwy in South Anchorage. The building that was broken into serves as a classroom for fifth and sixth-graders, totaling about 27 students.
Two Apple desktop computers and a camera were reported as stolen. Also missing were students’ school supplies and gym shoes, says Raynae Hipsack, a sixth grade teacher at Rabbit Creek.
“The students are all upset because they’re excited to start the school year and excited to bring their school supplies on the first day,” said Raynae Hipsack, a sixth grade teacher at Rabbit Creek. “And to come back and find your shoes are gone for gym, all your books and binders and everything you just bought.”
APD is investigating this incident and requests that anyone with information contact police at 786-8900.
