“What was on the roof at Schnell (Tuesday) morning? It appears to be a mischievous elf! The school principal is still missing. Where is Mr. Thobe?”
Instead of “Elf on the Shelf,” it was, “Elf on the Roof.”
Brade Thobe, Schnell Elementary School Principal, was dressed as an elf on the school’s roof as his students arrived Tuesday morning.
The video showed students reacting to the mysterious Christmas visitor.
“Why are you up there? That is dangerous!” one student laughed.
“It’s funny, but I’m also nervous,” another replied.
