Good Morning AMS Families: We have recently seen a surge in the "Paqui One Chip Challenge" which is a brand challenging individuals to consume extremely hot chips as part of a social media "challenge". Effective immediately, the “Hot Brand Challenge” chips and gummies are banned from all AUSD campuses. Students across the nation have been hospitalized as a result of a reaction to the heat index of the chips. We encourage our parents and guardians to speak with their children about the dangers of participating in this and other potentially harmful internet challenges. Notice: Students will be suspended for bringing these to school let alone trying to encourage others to take the challenge.
