A leprechaun at Columbia Park?

By Melinda Brown

The children in Mrs. Phelps’ Kindergarten class at Columbia Park Elementary School made a shocking discovery on Thursday, March 13.

They found signs they had been visited by what may have been a member of the Wee Folk.

The proof of his visit came in the form of tiny green footprints and four-leaf clovers found everywhere in the class.

Unfortunately for this tiny creature, he left his pants, too!  Small blue pants were found caught in a window in the Kindergarten room, leaving this poor creature in his underwear!

Whoever could have done this? We just don’t know, but perhaps it was a leprechaun making an early St. Patrick’s Day appearance!

Here are photos of this magical visit:
