I think that the sixth graders should be able to go to the depot for lunch. Even if we could only go once or twice, that would be fine too. What if our parents don't like us to have home lunches but you're allergic to the food on the menu, or you don't like it? As of right now, we don't have any other options if this happens. We need to fix this! The lunch prices have also gone up, but did the quality? I don't think so. We should have this right! I know that not even junior high can, but most places, sixth grade is junior high and you can let junior high go as. How much of a hassle would this be? I don't think it would be. Thank you for putting this into consideration. By: Louisa Lloyd

Ashlyn McCamey's opinion on recess:

I think that recess has to many rules like no phones, no food, no jumping off of the equipment. I also think that we should get two recesses after lunch instead of just one. Even if they have to be shorter Instead of 15 minutes of recess we should get at least 20 minutes.At recess we should be able to use the bathroom even if someone else is in there taking forever. 

In the opinion of Corbin Lee: "I wish there wasn't a morning recess just because it's cold.". "I think recess should be 20 minutes instead of 15.". 

In the opinion of Paetyn Boden: "I wish we could have half an hour of recess instead of only 15."'It would be nice if there was another rock wall or a bigger one""I would like recess more if there was a twisty slide."

In the opinion of Jasmine Martinez: " my opinion is that outside recess is better because you have more room to run around and no one is in your business."

in the opinion of Doreen Elliott; "Sometimes its cold out but overall its great.""recess should be longer when it is warm and smaller when its cold"

Something that I like about school is that we don't have to go to school on friday. Not going to school on friday gives everyone an extra day to relax on the weekend. Also, I get to brag to my cousins in Utah. Even though we have longer days than other schools, they have to go to school on friday. It is TOTALLY worth it. By: Lucy Branch

Something I would like to change about school is having longer holiday breaks. Instead of having no Friday every week, we should have it every other week so we can have a longer winter break. As of right now, we only get one week instead of two. Another thing I would like to change is sports. Many girls in fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grade love to play football, but why do boys get all of the fun! Finally, kids in fourth through sixth grade should be able to earn more tickets for good behavior, and we should also  make a rule that you can only sell homemade things. Many kids win a lot of things in the raffle, just because they earn lots of tickets by selling expensive things that their parents bought for them. These suggestions would definitely make my school experience a lot better for me and many other kids. By Chloe Branch

If I could change one thing about our school it would be our school lunch. I think we should get Pizza Hut once a month and we should get at least 1 1/2 pieces of pizza or TWO! Why I think this is because kids are always starving and the side dishes are either gross or don't have enough. By Mia Ward

My girl classmates believe that girls should have a program for girls football. We believe that if boys and girls can both play basketball, then girls should be able to play football too. Girls should have just as many rights as boys. And if boys want to play Volleyball they should be able to. In conclusion girls and boys should have the same rights.
