Ceiling Darts 

What the new phone rule has led to and what students think about the new alternatives. 

   As the 'no phone' rule takes of this year, kids have been keeping themselves entertained. From playing games on their chromebooks to sneaking their phones, but the most unique thing has been colorful arrows in the ceilings throughout the halls and classrooms. 

“I think that they are pretty fun, I do like them a little bit, but I’m not that good at it,” sophomore Cooper Andersen said. 

The arrows are made out of colorful sticky notes, they are tightly folded into small paper darts. Once they are folded kids flick them up hoping for the satisfaction of them sticking to the ceiling. 

“It's an addicting and creative thing that brings satisfaction when you finally stick one,” junior Thomas Slies said. 

As the trimester continues there have been more and more colorful arrows in the ceilings, with even some classes having more than 50 of them! But not everyone is a big fan of them. 

“I hate them, I think they are very immature and they destroy school properties,” junior Ian Cummins said. 

There are some concerns that the arrows might hit the fire sprinkler and cause it to go off, which might cause a new ban, but one thing that has been consistently pointed out is that the new no phone rule has been the main cause. 

“Yes, boredom is the mother of its invention," Cummins said.
