We are starting this petition for Alyssa Cornish who up until September 19th attended Sante Fe Trail Elementary. She was suspended on that day for playing with a toy air soft gun on school grounds on a Sunday. Alyssa does understand the seriousness of what she did, but at the time was having fun playing with friends. We feel that this is a very harsh punishment for such an arbitruary incident, this sentiment is felt by many others, family, friends, and reporters. Alyssa is a straight A student, last year voted by her teacher, Star Student, and this year elected to Student Council. The boy that brought the toy gun on school property received a three day suspension, while several others who supposedely shot the gun received no punishment. We do not feel anyone will benefit from Alyssa being pulled away from her education until January 2nd. She is very hurt by all of this and just wants to get back to school and her normal routine. If you feel there has been an injustice done to this little girl, please sign our petition.
