Gumming Up Your Day

By Danny Weiss, Contributing Writer

It’s here, it’s there it’s everywhere, under tables, on the bottom of your shoes, in the turf and grass, lying in the hallways. Gum is now officially a school wide epidemic, making appearances in the sixth grade quad, and the seventh grade halls. Teachers all over the school are making announcements about this nuisance during class time and before lunch, taking up our valuable eating time. Stop the madness and throw away your gum. It’s not allowed here.

Also, cell phones. A new school rule prohibits cell phone use during school hours, so remember to keep your cell phones in your locker until the final bell rings.
Another thing, if you see papers lying around, pick them up and throw them away if they don’t belong to someone. Even though we have cleaning staff, they can’t be everywhere at once and it’s good to help them out once and awhile.

The new sports center is clean and pristine, but it won’t be for long unless we clean up some of the lockers. Just because it’s new doesn’t mean you have to trash it.
