The 10-year-old student handed the notes to her teacher immediately.
According to CNN, police were informed after the girl received the second note and are now investigating the matter.
Speaking to CNN, Robert Tremblay, Framingham School District Superintendent said, "When you think about a child who's in fifth grade ... that kind of hate, you know, where does that come from? It's not an innate feeling that a child would have. And the concern that we have is, how is this a teachable opportunity for our classrooms?"
The girl’s uncle Jamaal Siddiqui told CNN, "She was visibly upset, she was crying. That's not what Islam teaches, and that's not what Muslims are.”
