ST. LOUIS – Four students at Sumner High School were hospitalized on Wednesday as a precaution after ingesting suspected edibles.
According to a statement from the Saint Louis Public Schools, the students, identified only as sophomores, juniors, and seniors, complained of nausea and were taken to the hospital. They’re said to be doing well.
Six other students were evaluated on campus and picked up by their parents.

The St. Louis Fire Department responded to campus to assist.
School officials learned another student bought the edibles or gummies at a nearby convenience store and brought them onto campus. The fire department said the edibles possibly contained THC.
The student who brought the edibles to school has been identified and will be disciplined, according to District Spokesperson George Sells.
Sells said earlier in the day, some social media posts indicated multiple students overdosed.
“Everybody’s doing fine. Nobody (that was hospitalized) appears to be on the verge of being kept overnight or anything like that,” he said.
