The principal at Rosendale Intermediate School is notifying parents after a student brought a substance to school Wednesday, telling other students it was mercury. Principal John Hokenson said in an email to parents that many students handled the metal believing they were holding mercury. But the principal says it was determined that the chemical was actually a metal called gallium.
