Item #: SCP-90306
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-90306 is to remain sealed and isolated from all public access aside from students and faculty of ██████ █████████ ██████ ██████. The entrance to SCP-90306 is to remain closed and locked except during approved testing or maintenance procedures.
Any personnel requesting further testing on SCP-90306 must possess Level 3 Authorisation or higher. Requests must be submitted to the Department of Research and Development and include the purpose of the proposed testing, a detailed experimental procedure, and a list of all personnel, subjects, and equipment to be used.
Description: SCP-90306 is a classroom located on the second floor of ██████ █████████ ██████ ██████ in ███ █████████, California. The room measures 9.1 m × 9.8 m (30 ft × 32 ft), with a total floor area of 89.2 m² (960 ft²). School records indicate that the last educator assigned to SCP-90306 prior to its first recorded anomalous manifestation was Dr. ██████ █████, who ceased employment at the institution on ██/██/████.
The interior of SCP-90306 contains the following furnishings and fixtures:
-
Twenty-five standard student desks and chairs.
-
One standard teacher's desk and chair.
-
One wall-mounted whiteboard.
-
A papier-mâché model depicting the planets in the Solar System and the Petrova Line as they appeared on ██/██/████, suspended from the ceiling.
- Twenty-five hand-created posters focusing on a variety of science and astronomy-related topics, fixed to the walls. The names on each poster correspond to the twenty-five students in Dr. ██████ █████'s last 8th Grade class.
The teacher's desk contains the following items:
-
A stack of twenty-five middle-school science assignments, of which twelve have been graded.
-
One 420 mL insulated desk mug manufactured by Contigo, three-quarters filled with coffee consistently maintained at a temperature of 72°F (22°C).
-
One pen holder containing three whiteboard markers and an assortment of black, blue, and red ballpoint pens.
-
Three small crocheted beanbags resembling the planet Earth.
-
One unopened packet of Sour Skittles (expiration date ██/██/████), located within the desk drawer.
Children who enter SCP-90306 report experiencing feelings of safety and comfort, accompanied by a marked increase in educational motivation. This effect is especially pronounced in children aged 11-14 years, which is the typical age range for middle school.
Upon exiting SCP-90306, each child will manifest a single wrapped lemon-flavoured hard candy in a clothing pocket. If no pockets are present, the candy will appear in the child's dominant hand. Consumption of the candy results in a temporary increase in mood and feelings of comfort, typically lasting 2–6 hours, with no observed adverse effects.
Addendum SCP-90306-1:The Foundation was notified of SCP-90306 on ██/██/████, approximately four years after the launch of ███ ████ ████. Initial reports indicated that every student assigned to the classroom demonstrated statistically significant improvements in academic performance, regardless of prior aptitude, attendance record, or diagnosed learning disabilities. Following preliminary investigation by Foundation assets embedded within local educational authorities, SCP-90306 was confirmed to exhibit anomalous properties, and containment procedures were enacted shortly thereafter.
Addendum SCP-90306-2: Testing revealed that none of the objects contained within SCP-90306 exhibit immediate anomalous properties when examined in situ. However, attempts to remove any object from SCP-90306 have consistently failed, as the object will instantaneously return to its original location within the classroom. Likewise, any alterations to the room, its fixtures, or its contents — including damage, repositioning, or replacement — will revert to their original state within 24 hours.

| 005 | Crocheted Beanbag | Item cut in half. | Item restored to original condition after 3 hours. A drawing of a sad face appeared on the top right corner of the whiteboard in black marker. |
| 006 | Solar System Model, Planet Venus | Item removed from ceiling and ripped into three pieces. | Item restored to original condition after 3 hours. A drawing of an upset face appeared on the top right corner of the whiteboard in black marker. |
| 007 | Assignments | One of the ungraded assignments was completed by D-300478 with 100% accuracy. | Item graded with red ink after 30 minutes, accompanied by a drawing of a smiley face on the top of the page and the words 'amazing job!!!' Handwriting analysis confirmed the writing to be consistent with known samples from Dr. ██████ █████. |
| 008 | Assignments | One of the ungraded assignments was completed by D-300478 with 75% accuracy. | Item graded with red ink after 30 minutes, accompanied by the handwritten words 'great job!'. |

| 010 | Poster | One student-created poster was taken down from the classroom wall and torn into multiple pieces. | Item restored to original condition and position after 3 hours. Simultaneously, all markings on the whiteboard disappeared and were replaced with a large drawing of an angry face. All individuals in SCP-90306 were immediately ejected from the classroom without injury. The entrance to SCP-90306 subsequently closed and could not be opened by any means for the following 48 hours. |
Addendum SCP-90306-3: It has been noted that on rare occasions, a child exiting SCP-90306 will result in the materialisation of a handwritten message written in blue ink on a strip of paper wrapped around the lemon candy that subsequently manifests in the child's pocket or hand.
