Let’s Get Back To School Spirit
By Simone Frueh (8th grade)
What does school spirit mean to you? Is it going to your school’s basketball games? Is it wearing spirit wear or pajamas to school? Is it being an athlete and playing on the volleyball team? Or is school spirit a result of school pride? How do we include all of our students in school spirit and how do we create school pride? These are questions I have been asking myself as I think about the topic of school spirit at Leonia Middle School.
School spirit is an important part of the overall school experience. Research suggests that “Students with higher levels of school spirit perform better academically, are more civically engaged, and are happier in general than their less-spirited peers”. So how do we include all kids in school spirit, not just the trophy winners, not just the spelling bee winners, and not just the engaged kids? What about our more vulnerable students, those who are not any of the above? If we define school spirit as pride in our school then we need to find new ways to create more pride in our school. Every student deserves this and our school would benefit from more school spirit and school pride.
Some ideas to create more spirit would be a spirit day with participation from all the students at LMS. We can create a grade against grade competition to determine which class has the most spirit. The class competition could include the wildest class themes, craziest costumes, or the loudest chanters. We could also begin a treasure hunt. Teachers could be involved in hiding the treasures. We also need more school dances and maybe even rock concerts hosted by our student musicians. Music and dance bring people together and we have a lot of musicians at LMS.
Fun is an important component of school pride but it is not the only component. I think we are missing the steps that follow the fun. I think respecting our teachers as well as our students is an important component of school pride. Let’s do a teacher of the week announcement. Acknowledging our teachers who do good deeds or go the extra mile in helping a student. Another idea for creating school pride is a beautification day at LMS. A day when we all come out, plant flowers, clean trash, paint murals, etc. We also need to talk about creating more respect for our students and how kids are disciplined at LMS. Let’s replace punitive language and punishments with ways to teach responsibility and encourage pride and respect in themselves and their school.
All of these things build upon pride in our school. Let’s do this! We need it! We deserve it!

Poetry
"No Romeo"
By Allison Park (8th Grade)
Romeo and Juliet are in love with each other,
And everybody around me loves a girl or a guy.
Yet I haven’t found somebody to be with yet,
And my friends say I’m too sensitive and shy.
I am a Juliet, but I have no Romeo,
My friends chatter about where they went on the weekend.
They are all Juliets and they got their Romeos.
Happily ever after to them, but never to me.
So I covered my feelings with schoolwork,
And people with no decency.
I wish to talk to someone, but they probably won’t understand,
How school picks and chooses who gets ahead.
Get a Juliet or a Romeo, or lose your friends.
Get none of them back, get excluded from events.
And go to none of these events and all will laugh at your differences.
And be such an outsider, you are no longer significant.
Alas, it is a shame,
For I cannot win the dating game.
Everything is hard to do nowadays,
When everybody is ahead and you’re in last place.
Why the difiuculty? Why the stress?
I wish to go back to the past.
Better days were far back then,
And I needed no Romeo then, for it was just me and my friends.
"Unity"
by Amogh Padwal (7th Grade)
It is what all of us
should aim for.
It is essential to
stay together
And never to
break apart,
To break apart
Its likes to tear
your connection
We have faced many
challenges in the past
We only overcame them by
coming together with our allies.
Now it is time to come together again
and overcome this crisis,
Once and for all.
We are stronger together and
Weaker alone
“Life is nothing without Nature”
by Amogh Padwal (7th Grade)
There are no mountains
Without tectonic plates
There are no forests
Without trees
There are no birds
Without the sky
There is no honey
Without bees
There are no cows
Without grass
There are no fish
Without water
There are no planets
Without universe
There are no friends
Without enemies
There are no families
Without kids
There are no humans
Without earth
There is no water
Without hydrogen and oxygen
Life is nothing
Without nature
As nature is our best friend!
