B.M.C.C Visit

On 4-19-07 our school went to go visit the Blue Mountain Community Collage. The collage there was a small collage filled with lots of students of ages 18 and up. When we got to the collage they talked about what classes they are taking and how long they have been going to school there. Then they divided all of us into groups of 8, then all of the group split up and went to go to different places. We went to go check out the weight room, the pool, and the main building. After the tour we went to go and eat lunch, then we all went to drum and sing after that we came back to the school.

Building a Positive School Culture

Our school is having some problems with high schoolers coming to school "High" during lunch. There has also been alot of basket ball players that had good grades during there season but now after there season was over there grades had dropped. I think the only way we could make this school alot better is move the school to a better location some where that is close to there house so they can't go and do drugs. Or they can't go any where during there lunch they can do activities during there lunch. I think this would make the school alot better.
