Throughout the years, dress codes have become standard practice in many high schools across the country. While there may be some variation among the rules, most dress codes have a similar foundation. Many include restrictions about the length of skirts, dresses, and shorts. It is also common for there to be regulations on shirt sleeves (spaghetti straps, sleeveless shirts, etc.) as well as garments that are transparent or expose the midriff area. Most schools do not allow clothing with…

Last Friday six middle school girls presented to the school a new fundraiser called the Raider Dash that will be replacing Spook Alley this year. This October, the Raider Dash will take place on a Friday night that where kids will get the opportunity to run through a big obstacle course similar to the Warrior Dash. Six Sherwood Middle School leadership girls came up with a great idea for a fun filled fundraiser that could be a big hit for years to come. These girls kept their idea going…

Tom Farrey, in chapter 4 of Game On: The All-American Race to Make Champions of our Children asserts that unstructured play can benefit children in long term athletic competition more than the methods of youth sports today. He argues that the parents of today’s society are pushing children into highly competitive athletics which aren’t even producing results, compared to other countries with different approaches. On page 86 he introduces the French Football Federation in Clairefontaine which is…

Some High Schools have sports programs like football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, Cross Country, and etc. My twin cousins are part of cross country, and they hardly get sick since they joined. I strongly believe High School programs have many positive out comes for students, like by practicing for games which you have to stretch/workout your muscles to build them and get them stronger. To be part of a sport's team you have to be in good shape, because nobody wants someone who can't kick hard…

News has spread throughout the school that his year there will be no more junior or senior lot due to the amount of arguing last year over students parking in the wrong lot due to scarcity of parking spots for juniors, seniors, and teachers.

Last year there were the unused trailers located near Leesburg pike and Route 7, which took away a few…

In order to do so, I would only have to complete a 12-month program and I would be eligible to test for three other certifications. This program would…

Looking back on my childhood, I realized a lot of things I wouldn't have given a second glance at that age. My thoughts usually tend to gravitate towards my grandparents, both of which were extremely smart, and whether it came to money, clothes, toys, or any other household object, they always put it to good use. At the time, I thought they were hoarders, but now that I'm able to look back on it, I realize that they caught the very end of the Great Depression, and that they were doing…
