What's That Smell?: Skunk Stinks Up MMS

Crews will be removing a skunk from near the school's annex area.

Depending on where you were at Millburn Middle School the last two days, you may have been asking "what's that smell?"

An overwhelming smell was in the area of the school's lower annex, and officials pinpointed that it's a dead skunk, said Nancy Dries, school public information officer. Crews will be taking care of the dead skunk and the smell Tuesday afternoon and evening.

The school was never closed during the smell and there were no reports of a large number of students or staff being sent home early, Dries said. Some students didn't even know about the big stink.
