Students of Eugen-Bolz-Gymnasium in Rottenburg Clean Up After Failed Senior Prank

A group of students from Eugen-Bolz-Gymnasium in Rottenburg, Germany, have found themselves in an unexpected predicament. On July 10th, they vandalized their own school with spray paint, a prank that initially appeared harmless but resulted in significant damage.

The prank, which was believed to be using washable paint, resulted in a costly cleanup estimated at around 7,000 Euros. The students were tasked with scraping, painting, and tearing off the vandalism during their summer vacation, a job that took three days and cost them a total of 9,000 euros.

The students have taken responsibility for the remaining costs, with student representative Lina Heege launching a fundraising campaign on GoFundMe to cover the expenses. By Monday afternoon, the campaign had raised 4,780 euros.

Principal Andreas Greis hopes that future classes won't have the same idea, believing the spray incident was an accident. He initially thought the reports were not true, but the school management and caretaker were shocked by the vandalism.

Despite the challenges, the graduating class believes their bond has become stronger through this experience. They are happy to work together to make things right. The school management and city (sponsor) have also reached a good agreement to cover the costs.

Principal Greis expressed his gratitude for the students' efforts and their commitment to rectifying the situation. He hopes that this incident will serve as a lesson for future generations about the consequences of their actions.
