Comment:
I have decided
that I want to be a police officer. Next year I will be in 10th grade
and I wanted to know if there is any one I can talk to about that.
Thanks Bye
Our Response:
We think it would be a great idea to talk to our very own school
resource officer, Officer Harris.

Absolutely nothing. Don't stress over whether or not you have a
boyfriend, because there are more important things like friends, family,
and school. The right one will come along at the right time, just be
patient.

Last Week
Comment:
when I talked
about the last week of school I meant like how do the students act and
how wild it is. Thanks
Our Response:
Naturally the students are very excited that school is nearly out, but
they don't act crazier or wilder than usual. Our teachers and
administration still keep an eye on everyone and make sure we're safe
and under control until the very last day. Also, further info about the
school schedule during the last week can be found
here.

emotionally. There are times when one just wants help, and you two are
really good at dishing it out..... Sincerely, a well left impression

Candy Selling
Comment:
Do you think
it is right that we are not allowed to sell candy for personal profit at
our school? I think it is better then what kids could be selling at
school, it is a proven fact that some kids might think better when
eating mints and other various food/candy. If kids are hungry then they
need something to eat they will have something. It is not hurting the
school so I think it is ok for us to sell candy. What do you think?
Our Response:
We do believe that it's fair that students cannot sell candy to each
other for personal profit at school. You say that it's not hurting the
school, but in reality it is because it would be taking a good amount of
money away from the sales that the cafeteria makes. In addition to that,
students are more likely to take advantage of others and ask for higher
prices for the candy, because they know the person will probably pay it.
School is a place for education, not for selling items for personal
gain.

Freshman
Comment:
Why do you
think freshmen are treated to bad, sometimes.
Our Response:
Freshmen are sometimes treated badly simply because people believe that
being older for some reason gives them the right to pick on those that
are younger. They do it just for fun or to make themselves feel good,
but of course this is not right to do. Even though there are people that
pick on freshmen, there are many more that don't, so don't worry about
it. Remember that they were freshmen not too long ago, and they are no
better than you are.
