Outlet covers.  – Patrick Nasta
Focus more on all of the academic and sports  – Payton Phelps
Having a scanner when you are late to school. That would speed things up significantly in the mornings. If you are late, you have to wait in a line, fill out a form, and get a pass written for you. It would be faster if we were able to just scan our IDs as we walk in and then the school would know we are late from the data recorded and mark us tardy that way. Also, more camaraderie between athletics and fine arts. A lot of fine arts kids are superfans or in marching band and we are there to support a lot of sports, but when it comes to band and choir concerts, musicals, and plays, there isn’t a lot of support for us from that area of the school. It shouldn’t be an us v them situation. It is us as a whole and we are all good at different things, but we need to support each other. – Rachel Cantin
Better gym – Ryan Figgs
