High school seniors suspended for bike ride to school

Sixty-four Kenowa Hills high school seniors were suspended Tuesday just before their graduation after they organized a 3-mile bike ride through town in lieu of a "senior prank."

Their school's principal Katie Pennginton was not happy about the bike parade, saying that it caused major traffic problems and that students could’ve been hurt.

Besides being suspended, the students were also banned from the school’s traditional senior walk, when graduating students say goodbye to their teachers and classmates.

Suspended seniors Cody Nicks and Trevor Galandt, and Cody’s mom Rachel, join Early Start this morning to talk about the suspension and to explain why they think that the punishment was unmerited.
