Students Banned From Year-End Trip

At least five Grade 8 students from a Thornhill school have been banned from an end-of-the-year trip to Montreal, after disparaging remarks about teachers appeared on the Internet site, Facebook.com.
Last week, letters about the "misuse of the Internet" were sent to parents of about 20 students at Willowbrook Public School by principal Kelly Fassel.
Parents were asked to meet with Fassel about their children's conduct.
During the meetings, at least five of the students found out they were no longer welcome on next month's two-day trip to Montreal.
