Students at Rottenburg's Eugen-Bolz-Gymnasium Take Responsibility for Graduation Prank Gone Wrong
Students at the Eugen-Bolz-Gymnasium in Rottenburg have been working tirelessly to clean up after a graduation prank that went awry on July 9th. With the motto, "We messed up, now we'll make it right," the graduating class has taken matters into their own hands to make amends for the damaged school property.
The students, who hired a painter and his assistant to help with the cleanup, discovered that the spray paint they used, labeled as washable, could not be removed once it dried. As a result, the cleanup efforts have been more challenging than initially anticipated, with the initial estimated cost reaching 9,000 euros.
Fortunately, the city donated five buckets of paint for the cleanup, and the GoFundMe campaign for the efforts raised 4,785 euros. The remaining costs will be covered from the class fund and donations collected at the Abiball.
The graffiti, which includes funny slogans, has been the focus of the students' cleanup efforts since Monday and is expected to continue until Wednesday. The students have been working in sweltering heat to clean the school, demonstrating their commitment to making things right.
Principal Andreas Greis understands the incident was a mistake and hopes future classes won't repeat the same prank. He has reached a good agreement with the school management and the city regarding the damages, and the students believe their cohesion has become stronger due to their efforts to make amends.
The consequences of an Abiturstreich (school graduation prank) gone wrong can often include unexpectedly high removal or cleanup costs, sometimes reaching thousands of euros. These financial burdens typically fall on the students involved, schools, or local authorities if damage occurs to property or public spaces.
In such cases, affected students sometimes resort to crowdfunding campaigns to raise money for the cleanup costs, sharing responsibility with the broader community, including friends, family, and sympathizers interested in supporting their graduation celebration despite the mishap. Organizing such campaigns helps offset the financial impact while also promoting accountability.
In summary, the students at the Eugen-Bolz-Gymnasium in Rottenburg are working diligently to clean up the mess left by their graduation prank. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential costs and consequences of such pranks and the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions. The principal, Andreas Greis, hopes future classes will learn from this experience and avoid repeating the same mistake.
