Norwalk officials said three middle school students turned their school bus into a club car by selling mixed drinks to other students.

Ponus Ridge Middle School administrators plan to address concerns about student drinking with parents and students.

Principal Linda Sumpter said the three students will be disciplined for selling drinks on the bus to at least 20 other children. She said she has met with the students and their parents.

School officials said students were caught drinking alcohol they had brought from home mixed with juice, iced tea and Gatorade, and selling the bottles for as much as $2 apiece to other kids on the school bus.
