A strange smell causes chaos at the IES El Picarral

Alarm at El Picarral Secondary School! A strange smell causes an unexpected evacuation.

Zaragoza - Last Friday morning, routine at the El Picarral Secondary School was abruptly interrupted due to an unusual event. A strong and unfamiliar stench quickly spread throughout the facilities, leading school authorities to decide to evacuate all students and teachers as a precautionary measure.

Laura Pérez, a fourth-year secondary school student, with a grimace of disgust still visible on her face said that it smelled like sweaty socks mixed with rancid there. After an exhaustive search by the maintenance staff, no apparent cause was found for the strange smell. Some theories among the students pointed to a failed scientific experiment in the lab, while others suspected it could be an elaborate prank.

 "We are surprised by the sudden evacuation!”, stated a spokesperson for the school, visibly perplexed by the incident. Finally, after ventilating the classrooms and confirming that there was no real danger,

people were allowed back inside the building. The source of the mysterious smell remains a mystery to this day. 

Hero in the school

The students of IES El Picarral, in Zaragoza, got a big scare on Thursday during the recess. A loud noise was heard in one of the corridors and someone shouted: "Shunner!" Panic quickly spread throughout the institution. Many students began to run and hide in the classrooms, thinking that there was a real danger.

But the truth was very different. The noise did not come from a gun, but from the school janitor, who was fixing a broken chair with a large and noisy stapler. The sound was so loud that it caused confusion throughout the building.

While most people panicked, one student remained totally calm. His name was Ahmed Admindy. Instead of running away, he walked slowly into the hallway to see what was happening. When he saw the janitor and realised that everything was a mistake, he raised his snack in the air and he shouted that everything was fine.

Later, Ahmed explained what he was thinking at the time. "I thought that if I was going to die, I wanted to finish the sandwich," he said with a smile. His calm attitude made many students laugh after the incident.

Some teachers and students commented that at first they were very scared, but then they felt relieved and even amused to know the truth. Thanks to Ahmed's tranquillity (and his love for snacks), the situation went from scary to comical.

Now, everyone at IES El Picarral calls him "the hero of the sandwich." 

Alarm at El Picarral High School, panic erupts after screens are broken.

May 22, 2025

On Monday morning, when everyone entered the school, all the screens were visibly broken.

The school janitor caused chaos during his last month of work. He secretly damaged many digital screens in classrooms, making them stop working or show strange videos and messages.

One day, all screens in one part of the school turned on at the same time. A video appeared where the janitor said:

“Twenty years working here. No thanks, no coffee. Now... turn it all off.”

Teachers and students were shocked. Many classes had to return to blackboards and chalk.

The janitor left the school quietly and hasn’t said anything. Some people are angry, but others on social media call him a “legend.”

Some teachers tell us that this janitor seemed strange the last few days.

The police are looking for him to make him pay for all the property damage he caused, but it's going to be difficult because no one has ever known where he lives and he doesn't have a cell phone. Now in all classes they will have to work on the blackboard

The police will continue to provide information in the coming days.

IES EL PICARRAL EVACUATED

On this day, at 11:12 am during recess, students reported to some teachers that there was water leaking from the locked bathroom door. Turns out, a toilet had exploded.

A few hours before this incident, one of the technology teacher was teaching their students how to make a basic, inoffensive bomb. 

“It was only for their project, I wasn't aware of the real dangers behind this creation! What I was aware of, though, was that I had to be careful with a specific student” the teacher said. She also says she did not know where that shrimp came from or who could have brought it to school.

A student says: “I was at recess eating lunch and I was suddenly swept away by a wave of water full of shrimps. It might sound funny, but it was very scary!”

Report says the bomb was water-activated, so the bathroom was easily the safest and quickest option. A student confessed that it was his bomb, but that he was not the one to explode it.

“A friend asked for my project to compare it to his, but when I gave it to him, he ran away. I just thought he wanted to have a high grade, not explode the whole bathroom!”

It was later revealed 

This tsunami did a lot of damage, it broke doors, windows and scared students, while messing up computers.
