Two third-graders skipped class Monday to play with horses and puppies, causing a stir as law enforcement and school officials searched frantically. The 8- and 9-year-old girls planned their escape from Brooklet Elementary School, Bulloch County Board of Education spokeswoman Haley Greene said. One asked for a hall pass to go to the bathroom while the other asked for a pass to visit the school nurse, she said.
