INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — Some parents in Independence have been warned by school officials to watch out for something called “Happy Crack.”

“Happy Crack” isn’t actually a drug; it is a mix of powdered Kool-Aid and sugar that kids carry around in plastic bags.

The principal at Glendale Elementary stated in a letter sent to parents that kids have been buying, selling, eating and snorting the mixture in behavior that “mimics a drug culture.”

A group of fifth-graders got in trouble for using it.
