Coffee Breakfast

Sometime over the past weekend someone bypassed a lock on the marquee at Lindemann Elementary School in Allen Park and changed the message on the sign.

ALLEN PARK — Somebody’s getting coal in their stocking when the North Pole’s chief elf makes his rounds.

Sometime last weekend an unknown person broke into the marquee at Lindemann Elementary School and changed the sign.

The sign, which was promoting the annual “Breakfast with Santa” event, was changed to instead read, “Breakfast with Satan.” The marquee was fixed early Monday morning, but the damage had already been done as several people stopped to photograph the sign.

The photos have made the rounds on Facebook and through email with hundreds of shares, likes and comments.

Principal Mike Darga sent a note home to parents explaining the situation.

“Early Monday morning, it was reported to our office by concerned parents that vandals had tampered with the school message that was originally posted, ” he wrote. “Once we learned of the incident, we took action to have the message removed immediately.”

Darga said the vandals were able to get past the basic locking system on the sign to make the changes.
