It happened during lunch at the Richard Wright School at 27th and Dauphin in Strawberry Mansion. District spokesman Fernando Gallard says the five were taken to the hospital by ambulance after they displayed abnormalities in their vital signs.
“A mix of boys and girls, fifth-graders. They were in good condition. We transported them to St. Christopher’s for observation,” Gallard said.
