Hello, my name is Jeb Little and I am am here to talk about three issues that I believe need to be fixed throughout PRHS. The most important to me is the cost of lunch, because I could go to chick fil a and get a chicken sandwich for about 2 to 3 dollars but here they cost 5.50. It’s the same with the Papa John's Pizza also the lunch that they make is pretty nasty in my opinion.

Secondly, We need to bring back break. I think we should bring break back because I am always getting tired during class because I don't have any food or energy and it causes me to not do my best. I think that they shouldn’t keep break away just because of the mess. Some kids should clean up after themselves then the problem would easily be solved.

Finally I think that the some of the teachers are not doing their best at teaching because all they do is make us watch videos and study by ourselves and never teach except for 3 other teachers, in conclusion I think that I can make this school a better place.

Hello i'm Will Michaels and i am going to be discussing issues that i would like to fix. The first issue is education i want to maintain a high quality education for are community  and make sure that graduates have the best education to get good jobs.  My next issue is lunch room food the food in my opinion and others in the school say that the lunch room food is bad and i agree with them the way i'm going to fix this is buy better supplies for the lunch room. The next issue is i want break outside again we don't move around that much in the school day usually we sit for an hour strait if he dont have PE and when we did have break we didn’t do much we sat or stood and ate a snacks but when i am elected i will not only bring back snack but i will bring games with snack like football

Hello citizens I am Isabella Morgan and I’m here to address several issues that I have noticed needs to be changed. Number one There is a very bad issue with kids fighting and treating other kids unfairly. An example of what I mean is say I was on the basketball team and you citizens were the opponents. I wouldn’t want you going around talking trash about how bad my team is. Or walking around telling everyone that I’m bad  at basketball even if I am.  I’m positive you guys wouldn’t like me doing the same thing. If you were a good  athlete you’d feel kind of crushed if i talked about you Right?  That would be a lie and you would want everyone to know the  truth. Well most kids don’t think about what they say. So my message to everyone even when your  not at school DON’T BULLY!! Think about how you would feel if someone bullied you. I’m here to make the world a better place. “Don’t Bully”!! Be nice. Also along with this bullying there are kids and other teachers using guns without a real purpose. This is also a form of bullying. It is just presented  in a different way. If we had metal Detectors in every school then we could stop the crime before it happens. Everyone that comes inside the school will go through the Metal Detector. That way if we catch anything that doesn’t belong in their Bag we can kick them out until they get it right.  I want all of our students to be safe. Also invading other people’s space. For EXAMPLE IF A BOY TOUCHES A GIRL INAPPROPRIATELY THAT IS ALSO BULLYING. tHAT’S NOT RESPECTING THAT GIRL/BOY YOU'RE DOING IT TO. So no doing not only is it nasty but it can make someone uncomfortable. Let’s all just treAT each other with respect. If you vote for me I will change the world and all of us will live in a better environment.

Sincerely, Isabella Morgan

Hello, my name is Kaeden Swain, I think all schools should have free lunch. Some schools have to pay for lunch which causes parents to spend more money on school then normally. Some schools overprice their food that you can get for a lot less at other places. Some schools if you pay for lunch obviously you have a code or something. At our school, most parents spend more than 25.00 dollars. At our schools, we have chick~fil~a which almost the price for two chick~fil~a sandwiches. If you're at school and someone sees you put in your code they might copy it and your parents would have to put in more money. In conclusion, I hope you see why schools should have free lunch.    We should have a break I mean we had it at the beginning of the year and now they took it away because they say that we are “littering, fighting, and doing things that don't school appropriate”. We all know the real reason why we lost it… because of winter after it was getting really cold they decide to take away break. The last reason why we should have break is because we can see all our friends and socialize with others and our friends. That’s why we should have break.    No homework… we should have no homework because we already get too much why would we want to have work for home I mean when we get home is break time. When we get home we are to have fun rest and get ready for the next day of school. I mean I pretty sure no one wants do work at home when they just got out the work office that what I call it. That’s why we shouldn’t have homework.

Dear, Citizens of Pike Road

My name is Nevaeh Mainor and i'm going to be discussing the break,stress,and time issues in Pike Road Schools. One main problem about break is that we leave trash.We can fix that by putting multiple trash cans or recycling bins.With multiple trash cans we don’t have to push or rush to throw our trash away we can simply walk to the nearest one.Our second issue is stress which can be a big problem in school.We can fix and help with stress by having break to break away from school for a little bit.We can also supply chewing gum or stress balls when someone is stressed.Our last issue is time.We dont have alot of time for break.We can fix that by adding five minutes to the time limit There's not enough time to find,talk,play with your friends let alone eat your snack.If we fix all these problems we won’t have as much stress and you have break.These are my main issues.These problems can be fixed.

There are some concerns I have about the community. One of them is littering. On the side of the road everyday I see trash such as glass bottles, plastic, paper, and much much more. I also see many cigarette buds. If the ground is very dry and you through them out on that dry ground. No matter how much you rub on it, it could still have a little ember in it and start a forest fire. Trash can also harm wildlife. For example if a raccoon sees some trash on the side of the road it could choke on it or make it have stomach problems, and it could die. Another concern I have is crime. Even if it does not have a high level in Pike Road right now. In 5 or 10 years, if we don’t watch it it could go up. The third and final concern I have is Cyber Bullying. If you make fun of someone’s appearance and looks in a hurtful and mean way on the computer you can really hurt them mentally. The mental way of hurting someone is if you say they are retarded and dumb, or they look stupid. They can take it in a very bad way. Some people take it so wrong that they would think that no one likes them and they some time kill themselves. These are some concerns I have about the Pike road Community.

Hello my name is Isaiah Goheen and i and i want to talk about three issues that we have at our school that should be fixed if you vote for me i will do my best to change most of these issues.    The first thing i want to talk about is our school lunches we have the same food everyday and it’s disgusting.Its also unhealthy plus for what the food taste like and what it is we are charged too much money for it and the prices for lunch should be lowered. Like 2 dollars for a soad is way to much money.Some kids also have starve because they hate the lunch and get a drink and a snack or forget their lunches at home that can be bad because in class they won't be able to focus on their work and get it done.      The second thing i am going to talk about is that we should be able to test in mentoring.We should be able to do this because it helps students pass focus areas once they are behind and have a lot of things to get caught up on.It can give them a chance to take more test so they don’t have incompletes in a class.      The last thing would like to talk about is how much the chineses teachers are disrespected.They deserve just as much respect as all of the other teachers get and i don’t see students saying mean things and being as disrespectful to other teachers i want them to be respected too and be able to teach their class without being interrupted and have to make students leave the classroom because they can’t teach because of bad behavior.

My name is Steven H. Gorden. I am here to list three issues of the Pike Road School system. The issues I will be discussing are how we should replace mentoring with study hall, how the school pushes christian beliefs on the students, and the focus of agriculture. These are in order of least to most important (in my opinion). Keep in mind I am not a stereotypical southerner so most of these opinions and thought are not the same as most others in this school. Thank you and please enjoy.

The first subject is how we should replace mentoring with study hall. Mentoring recently has gotten rid of testing. This means that now there is pretty much nothing to do in that class. You are encouraging kids to play video games during (that) class. Now they have nothing else to do. You might say they could study but the vast majority of students I talk to say they don’t study or study right before the test. Just get rid of mentoring and make it study hall. It’ll give the kids and faculty a break. Also breaks in between working actually help people focus better when they get back to work. In conclusion, we should replace mentoring with study hall because it is healthy and mentoring is just a waste of time and makes you (the school) look bad.

My next subject is how the school pushes Christian beliefs on its students. I understand you are just trying to please the vast majority of us. I understand we live in the bible belt so pushing those beliefs would seem like a good idea. But the problem is it’s illegal. During the school's band meeting they had us pray to god. This is the school forcing parents and the students that came to act in a religious urge. Another example is during Chinese class. They had us watch a video about Easter. They are teaching students about religion which is again something that the school could be sued for. I personally am Christian but I do not encourage the school to continue to do things like this. They could get sued or just make one of their students and/or faculty mad. In conclusion, the school should try to better on this subject that has just been presented unless it is ok with some court time.

My final subject matter today is the agricultural push that our school has. It always seems our school is trying to focus on farming. The new building they said is going to have a big focus on agricultural learning. 79% of America is city/urban areas. I get you think that it’s relevant to here so we should teach it. But the problem is most people born in Alabama move out. In 2015 more people moved out of Alabama then moved in. And you know where they're probably going to end living. In a city or urban area. Instead of teaching us how to grow tomatoes, teach us how to do taxes, help us to understand paying mortgages, how to work high tech technology, etc. That is what we should be focusing on. Thank you for reading and taking these points into consideration.

My first issue is not taking a test in mentoring. I feel that we should take test in mentoring again. Sometimes we need to take a test for a class that we don’t have that day. Also, It might turn red that day and your gonna have an incomplete. Taking test in mentoring lets us catch up on reds that we have. Taking test in mentoring lets us take test from any class, but we have to have permission. When we have permission we give the ticket to our mentoring and then we request. I will try to talk to a teacher so that they can ask an administrator so we can try to take test again. For these reasons, we should start taking test again in mentoring.

My next issue is that we need break. I Think that having break will let us have a little bit of free time. Having free time will let us talk to our friends and socialize. We can also eat our snacks so that we won’t be eating in class and making a mess. In the classrooms, there is mess on the floor that the teachers have to clean up and they don’t like to do that. In addition, we can let loose during break so we won’t do it in the classroom. We need to have fun like play, talk, and hang out with friends. We all need to convince the teacher to give us break back. As you can see some kids like break to have fun, and talk to friends and not just be in a classroom doing nothing.

My last issue is that we have high schoolers and middle schoolers together. Since Pike Road Historic schools have so many kids it is so crowded in the school. I feel like we should have a separate school for middle school kids and high school kids. So many kids in a school it gets crowded and you can’t really walk if there is a lot of people going from one place to another. We were about to get Georgia Washington, but they canceled the purchase. We need to build or buy another school to fit all the children. Since Pike Road Schools is still growing until 12th grade we need another school. At this Point, we just have to wait and see what happens because I heard that we are might get portables. In conclusion, we might have a little school for every kid in the school all the way to 12th grade.

Hello ladies and gentlemen of the school district, my name is Zeph Key and I will be campaigning for president, now, I have two problems with this school that I promise I will fix if you make me president. The first one is, lower the price of food, as a fellow student I buy lunch from the cafeteria at least once a week and it’s usually pretty expensive, I remember coming home from school one week and my mom told me that I had spent close to ten dollars on one meal from the school lunch program and I was not very happy with the amount of money I spent on accident. As many of you know, the price of one pizza is four dollars, I understand that the school needs to make a profit but that price is way too expensive, so If you make me president I will talk to the lunch committee about lowering the prices of the food. Second I would like to talk about the Nancy’s Italian Ice, now everybody loved Nancy’s Italian Ice and I think that it was a great way to make a little money and have some fun while doing it, but a few months ago, Nancy’s Italian Ice disappeared and nobody's really happy that they left the school, but I woke up one Tuesday to find my brothers begging my dad for money to buy Nancy’s at school, I really didn’t get why they still have it at the younger school but not the older one, If you make me president I will talk to the school board about that as well. Thank you all for taking these two minutes to listen to my speech, please take this into careful consideration and I hope you make the right choice!

Dear Audience,

Hi I am going to talk about hunger, prices for lunch, and time we have to eat lunch. Some people don’t have any food to eat because they don’t have money in their lunch account. Some people don’t have time in the morning/night to pack their lunch because they are busy. I am also saying that the lunch prices are kind of pricey. People like pizza, and we want to buy it because it is tempting. It casts like 7 dollars for a pizza, drink, and a bag of chips and that is too much for a single meal. People spend about $25 a week because of the lunch prices. At lunch we have about 30 minutes to eat and hang out with our friends. That is not enough time to me. Some people eat slow or spend most of their time talking rather than eating. That is a struggle. this is why you should vote me for president. thank you!

Each of the three issues are equally important, and it is time we do something about them. I hope you vote for me so that we can work together to make an impact our our school in a positive and effective way. Please consider my major cases and help me change them in a productive and healthy way.                                                                 The first issue I will address is our lunch in the cafeteria. Not only is it unhealthy, but also very expensive. I’m sure many of you have heard complaints about the lunch and you may have some yourself. Students at Pike Road pay an insane amount of money for the lunch at our school. The lunch alone is not always expensive, but most people get snacks and some type of soda as well. For an example, if the cafeteria is selling chicken nuggets or mozzarella sticks, kids are going to want more to fill them up, like snacks or a soda. If the lunch is unhealthy, I believe buying it is a waste of money. If kids spend this much money on lunch, the lunch needs to be healthier. So please, vote for me and I will try my hardest to change the lunch or prices In the Pike Road Historic School cafeteria. 	                                                                                                    The second issue I will address, is the trash in our school. The trash in our school is also quite insane. Every day, I notice some kind of trash on the ground. Whether it is in the gym, in the halls, in the cafeteria, or in classrooms, there is always trash on the ground. I have witnessed people throwing trash on the floor in the gym, or missing the trash can and not caring to pick it up. I think we should start caring for how we treat our school campus. Younger kids look up to us, and if they see that we trash our school, they may end up doing the same thing as we once did and continue to do. I believe we should impact our school by picking up trash or throwing it away in the first place so we won’t have to clean up after others. Vote for me and together we can stop trashing our school. 	                                                                                                             The last issue I will address is the lack of activity and movement. Because of our block schedule (even and odd days), we only have P.E every other day. Kids sit in classroom the whole day with very little movement. I think this is part of the reason kids are very fidgety and talkative throughout class. Some classes don’t have workouts in P.E and the classes get free play almost every class. Some kids also decide to sit in P.E instead of participating. I hope if you vote for me, we can make a positive impact on our activity and health.                               	                               I hope from all of these important issues, you understand that there are things that need to be fixed in our school. Even though these issues may take a lot of effort to fix, they are not impossible to change. Yes, there may always be trash on the ground, people that don’t want to participate in P.E, or people that are unhappy with school lunches, but we can at least affect these things a little bit, to where our school is over all better. In conclusion, these are changeable issues that need to be changed so please vote for me so that we can come together and make a difference! Sincerely, Kaylee

Hello, I'm am here to bring you my campaign of “Let's work together were family “ .My name is Dorian Rembert and I believe that our  lunch we have right now is not very safe .The lunch is old and kids are starting to just eat chips or bring their own lunch. We should do what we did last year of letting the lunch workers serve the food because some kids can handle getting their own food without making a mess.Another problem we have is that the teachers unexpected took away break.Break was like the only time we really had break and had time to eat and talk without getting in trouble .That was also a break for the teachers .I believe that we should bring that back if you agree with me you should vote for me.The last point I am going to make is summit learning .This website is an a-ok website but I believe that we had a very better website in 5th and 6th grade.My name is Dorian Rembert and I am here to bring you my campaign of making this community a better place .

Hi my name is Pedro Francisco and I am gonna talk about  three issues
And my first one is I want the PE to look good because there is trash everywhere I want the student not to put trash in PE  so the PE is clean and they need to fix the floor so if they do that two things that a said PE is going to look good.

the second one I want students to take content assessments in mentoring because if they have any red they can take content assessments so they will have good grades and all greens Or they can take notes and do their projects.

and my last one I want to get the break again because students can feel the fresh air and also have fun talking with your friend. And it’s easier for everyone to put their trash in one spot.

Hi everyone I’m Cam’Ron Clark and i am going to talk about three issues that are important to me.The first is trash people leave trash everywhere outside and thats not all. Its everywhere in the school bathrooms lunchroom if we could pick up after our selves there wouldn’t be trash evewhere in school.My second issue is having break outside we used to have break outside but now we have it inside. It’s not healthy for us to stay inside for break we need the energy. Some people don’t even go to P.E that often so instead of staying inside on our computer we should get outside and have fun. My final issue is lunch prices some people can’t afford lunch because of the prices. Everything in the lunchroom is so expensive the drinks,snack,and food. Sure people could just bring their own lunch but they shouldn’t be forced to. This is school and everyone deserves a low price lunch. In conclusion these are my issues and I hope these are all fixed.

Good morning. My name is Ellie Barfoot and today I’m discussing with you three important issues. Physical Education, Lower Lunch Prices, and Bullying. I chose these three because I have seen a lot of issues with these topics in our school.

One issue is physical education. We all know that our health is important, but some of us don’t know how important it is. Now most of you have PE, but guess what. Some of us don’t. Take me for example: I signed up for PE, but I don’t have it on my schedule. Now I get winded just walking up the stairs! My health is important to me and I know it is important to you also.

Another issue that is important is our lunch prices. Most of us can afford it, but some of us aren’t privileged enough to afford the prices of our lunch. I see kids everyday without a lunch because they simply could not afford it. I think that should be a sign to lower the prices!

My third and final issue is bullying. There is no hope for kids that bullying will stop. I asked Lucy Benson if she thought bullying was a problem that would end and she told me that, “We can try but we can’t change everyone.” Hope needs to be brought into all of our lives. Bullying can stop with my help. If you vote for me, I can make that change!

A VOTE FOR ME IS A VOTE FOR ME!

Hello my name is Preston Macrory I have sent this letter to you today to address my opinion on school behalf's. I have become aware of over priced vending at school. I am in a place or state where I want to fix this. At Chick Fill A they have a sandwich listed for 2 bucks. In school we have them for 5 bucks. That is a very high priced meal for just a sandwich especially since it is not even cooked from the school. I’m sure that you agree especially with it being chick fil a that you will consider this idea.

I also have another idea on the matter of fun. Since the lack of having less and less field trips because of us aging and not needing as much i would like to have more fundraisers placed to ya'll it would help the tired brains and the limited breaks. I also has another benefit to that it helps raise money for the school and cafeteria.

Last one I would like you to consider. I know some but not all want more time to take test and stuff. Well I would like to make the mentoring time longer so you have more free time to take care of stuff that you NEED to do. I know it could make the last period short but next year they can make it happen and make the lesser important classes shorter. Thank you for your time an i hope you have a great day.

Sincerely, Preston Macrory

There are 3 main problems I have encountered in this school these three thing would be tests in mentoring have been removed, lunch prices are a lot higher than other schools, and we are missing a major period, study hall. We could fix these things by including a study hall after lunch every day. Lower lunch prices by making an extra snack 1 dollar. And if they want a pizza or chick-fil-a sandwich make that regular lunch price not 5 dollars. Finally have tests in mentoring again and if there is a problem with cheating take it away from them not THE ENTIRE SCHOOL.  All three of these things are important because it is good to have a 1 hour break in 8  hours, lunch and study hall. Lower lunch prices can make more people think to buy it saying it is cheaper for delicious food therefore making the school as a whole make more money. And finally, bringing back tests in mentoring will give a period where you can take tests for any class if you don’t have time to take it in the regular class. Fixing these problems will make this school even better than it already is thank you for your time.

Dear Citizens of PRHS,

Today I would like to address some issues in our school. One of these issues is that us as students are not getting much of a say in choosing the classes that we take. This is important because most of us were forced into taking non- core classes we didn’t want to take. At the end of last year we were given a sheet and we got to circle what classes we wanted to take, but weren’t taken into consideration for me personally and many others students because I didn’t get many of the classes I wanted to take. The second issue I want to address is that we need to bring back a break or implement a recess time in our daily school routine. This is important for us because all kids and teenagers need a break from schoolwork and stress. We need a time to rest or run around. This is also scientifically proven to help us focus, pay attention, and have better grades in school. THe last issue i would like to talk about today is the lunchroom food, it is mostly unhealthy, overpriced, and sometimes just outright disgusting food. This issue is  important because as teenagers we need to keep our bodies healthy and growing.  With all the junk food most kids barely get to eat a good healthy meal. I hope that in reading this and hearing many issues we will start to change something and resolve these issues over time.

Sincerely,

Julia Foley

Dear citizens of Pike Road, AL,

My name is Christine Shelton, and I believe that Pike Road Historic School should have lockers for every student. Everyday, students have to carry around their heavy backpacks all day. We get to class, and only end up using our laptops, or one binder out of our backpacks. If we had lockers, we could store everything except the things that are needed for the class we’re going to. Students go home with backs and shoulders that hurt because we have to carry our backpacks around all day. Lockers would provide much needed security for our personal belongings. Some people have things stolen out of their backpacks. Things like pencils, pencil sharpeners, erasers, money, and calculators. Items couldn’t be stolen out of backpacks if we had lockers because lockers are locked, and only the student knows the code. Lockers would give us an ample amount of space to store not just backpacks, but purses, bags for sports, and lunchboxes too. I play sports in the afternoons and often have a bag that I end up having to carry around all day because I go straight from school to practice. I have a bible study on Friday morning, I have to carry a purse for bible study. This is why we need lockers. As you can see, lockers would be a great addition to Pike Road Historic School. Thank you for your time!

Best Wishes,

Christine Shelton

Littering, unless you have lived under a rock your whole life ,you know that littering is bad. Were told about billions of dollars spent to clean it up,the tons that end in the ocean ,even the ugliness of it; the list goes on and yet people still do it.littering is not a small problem.It is believed that 62% of people in England drop litter,although only 28% of people admit to it.A shocking 99% of streets in town centres have cigarette litter.It seems like it has become more acceptable for people to drop litter.You tend to find things among the driftwood since the same tide that washes up the driftwood washes up the trash.Also if you was walking and you tend to throw some trash on the ground and there was a little kid watching you they will wanna do it to they will think it is okay to litter,but they wouldn't know any better. Also if you want to reduce littering you can get a litter bag or portable ash receptacles to share volunteer in your community to help prevent and clean up litter from cigarettes butts to illegal dumps.Find a keep America beautiful affiliate in your community.

Racism, is the belief in the superiority of one race over another,which is often results in discrimination and prejudice towards people based on their race or ethnicity. Racism was a major problem back then but it is still is today.We must pursue policies to transform this country into a nation that affairs the value of its people of color.That starts with addressing the five central types of violence waged against black,brown and indigenous Americans:physical,political,legal,economic and environmental.similar, the solution to race inequality requires commitment and participation by everyone regardless of their …… discourage ,because some people will take longer than others to understand the impacts of racism.Racism is everywhere is it?Both blacks and whites see racism everywhere there is no state or city with no racism it can be anywhere.

Bullying is one of the few major problems in today’s society. Over 3.2 million students are victims of bullying each year which can lead to detrimental decisions. For instance, studies show that approximately 160,000 teens skip school everyday because of bullying.17% of American students report being bullied 2 to 3 times a month or more.That's why we shouldn't bully other students because some students talks about killing their self  because of bullying. Bullying as many people know ,can be a tremendously painful experience for a young person.The point has been driven teens like phoebe prince or amanda todd who killed themselves after they have been bullied.Why do people think it is okay to bully other people?The main reason why people bully is because they may not seem like good enough reasons for intimidating and controlling others,but they are the main triggers.Some people bully just to get attention,they want other kids to laugh at what they say mean to the other kid.It is not good to bully you should keep your comments to yourself if you feel like your going to say something bad don't say it at all.

So, fellow people, my word to you is DON'T LET ONE BAD EGG MAKE YOU FEEL ROTTEN! For littering YOU BETTER PUT WHAT YOU WASTE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!For racism THERE'S NO PLACE FOR RACISM.

Respectfully,

AZERIAH BROOKS

Dear Citizens of Pike Road Historic School,

In this letter, I am going to address 3 problems that our school has. The first problem that I am going to address is that we do not have a break. We used to have a break every day between our first and second class of the day. The first reason that we need a break is that it gives students time to rest between classes. If students do not get breaks throughout the day they may not be able to focus enough and then they might not do as well as they could do on projects and assessments. The second reason is that students would be able to catch up on school work that they were not able to finish at home.

The next problem that I am going to address is that we need to be able to take tests in mentoring. During class, we do not have enough time to take content assessments because we have to take notes and do other class work. Students can take notes and study at home but they still have to wait until their class to take the test. Which means it might be 2-3 days before they can take the content assessment and if they don’t have time during that class then they will have to wait even more time before they can take it again. If we could take content assessments in mentoring I think that a lot of students’ grades will improve and the number of reds that each student has will decrease.

The third issue I am going to address is that in our school we have our lunch room is very small, our gym floor is concrete, and some classes are in the lunchroom when they should have their own classroom.  If we had a normal gym floor than we would be able to have games and more practices in the gym at the historic school instead of the elementary school.  If we had a bigger lunch room there would be room for more tables so people would not need to move chairs around at lunch. If we had a classroom for all the classes that take place in the lunchroom, then people would be more productive and they wouldn’t be disturbed by other people who are walking through the school by the lunchroom.

In Conclusion, I think it is extremely important that the students and staff of Pike Road Historic School work together to bring break back, bring testing in mentoring back, and build more space at the school. Thank you for time and attention.

Sincerely,

Peyton Clark

Students of Pike Road My name is William Kelley and I would like to have your vote.  Tutoring-School is a struggle for some students and is not for others. That's why I think our school should have a tutoring system where students help other students. This tutoring system will work by having students that are not struggling helping students that are struggling to understand the material. And if the student who is not struggling helps the student that is struggling pass or complete the work given to them, they will receive a prize as compensation for helping. My plan would help students can be more successful at school.

Study Hall -.According to The U.K Independent, some of the top schooling systems in the world like Finland and Singapore have little to no homework. So our school needs to try to do the same. I am going to work with the school to get a study hall system so we can do our make up work at school instead of our free time at home.

Dear Pike road school bord,

I have three issues I would like to share with you. The first one is lunch expenses, it's about 5 $ a day and that's very high. So if you add all that up in one week it will be about 30$ all together. And if you wanna snack and a drink it's even more so I could be that person to fix that because our parents are yelling at us for spending to much but its not our fault. I could talk to mr bettes about it and if it doesnt change we could have a peaceful protest and I think that we could overcome it.
My second issue is how long we spend in class, it's so overwhelming I think we should not spend that long because its too much stress on us. It could be 45 min and not learn so much because it puts to much stress on the students because we have to remember everything so I could change that and talk to Mr. Sikes about the problem. My last problem is No break I think thats thats horrible because we need a break from all the classes it's just too long and at break we get to hang with are friends and that's fun but we have to learn not to litter because that's bad because then other people have to pick it up but I think we learned our lesson and I think we should have one more chance at it. So I could make this school a better place if you vote for me for president.
Sincerely, Cole Williams

In my eyes our school system is doing pretty well for its third year as a functional system. Even though we are doing some things well, like allowing kids to work ahead as far as they want, there is still some things that need a bit of work on. The first of these is that we are not allowed to take any tests during mentoring time. Now, if you are unfamiliar with our school then you need to understand that it does not use a traditional way of teaching. We use a program called Summit Learning, where you have a timeline with skills on it that you have to pass. If the line of the timeline passes the skill before you do then it turns red, which is bad. Even though the rule that we can’t take tests wasn’t always a rule, it makes a big impact. Speaking from personal experience, I use to take notes in the class the test was for, then I would take the test in mentoring. Having this extra option being taken away from us makes it hard to find the time to take tests. The second problem is that the school has way to expensive lunches. The lunches have way too small a serving size for the price. At the old school you could get a main course, side, and a salad for $3.75, but now here that is about $6/$5 depending on the drink. This makes it so that some are unable to get a hot lunch and are instead made to have to eat a cold sandwich. My third and final issue is that we no longer have a break. Not having a break puts too much stress on us because we are going from class to class and that stacking on top of all of the stress from having all of the skills and projects we have to pass. These are just a few things that need some work on for our school to be a bit better. Now just remember, if you vote for me then I will bring donuts and you can watch me eat them.

Dear My Community,

I believe that we have many issues but today i will be talking about three that i feel need the most help on. My first issue is picking your mentor, I strongly believe that we should be able to pick our on mentor. I feel that my mentor dose help me but i am not really conterbellel with talking to him about my problems or my grades. I would like to have picked my own. My second issue is, why i think fortnight should not be aloud at school, I believe that fortnight is a really big distagion and kids are not able to do there school work. And they are getting in trouble when there work is not done. My last issue is, lunch should not cost so much. I am one of the kids in our school that buys lunch not everyday but a lot of them and in one week i spend up to 20 to 30 dollars and i am getting in trouble for that. Kids in these school might not have the money to buy food because it is so much. I hope you have the time to stand with me and try and fix the issue.

Sincerely,

Ansley Olesen

Dear Fellow Students,

There are 3 issues that need to be changed in this school.

The first issue is not having a real cafeteria in our school. Our cafeteria is very narrow, when you sit down, you are cramped with other students that are next to you and behind you. It’s so tight when you try to get out, it would be very difficult when the other students are super close to you. Another issue is because if the students came from weightlifting, you would have to bring your bags with you into the lunchroom. But there’s no room for the bags cause the tables and chairs are compacted to each other. It kinda makes our school look bad if the visitors came into our school. If the visitors walk into the lunchroom, they will probably be wondering “why do they have a cafeteria in the hallway next to the gym?” It would be difficult to answer that question because you don't know what to say if the visitors ask that. When they said that question, that just sounds like our school needs some work.

My second issue is leaving at 3:30. I think we should leave school at 2:30 instead. Let’s be honest, ¾ of the students don't like school because we have to wake up early every morning and go to school and do some work. It is very boring and exhausting for students and adults. I get that school is important in life but we need some break off of it by leaving the school earlier. Think about it, the teachers have to deal with some obnoxious students in their class and teach the same concepts for four different classes. I don't think it would be fun for teachers and staff to stay at school till 3:30. And plus some kids and adults have Wednesday night church or practice after school. when the students get home, they don't have enough time to do there homework and have free time. We should leave school at 2:30 so we can have more free time and have time to do homework.

My last issue is the lunch price. I don’t get lunch in the cafeteria but I heard a lot of complaints from my fellow students in the school. The fellow students told me a pizza is $4.25, chick-fil-la $5.50, and snacks and drinks cost about $2.25. I'm not a person who likes to waste money every day just for a small meal. It’s just not worth it. Think about it, if you get food from school for 5 days, it will be about $30.00! I get that you are trying to make profits out of it to keep this school going. I have an idea that might help the students. They should lower the pizza to $2.50, Chick-fil-a to $1.75, and snacks and drinks to $.75.

In conclusion, those were my issues that should be fix in our school. We need to fix these problems to become a better school. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Joey Martin

Dear citizens of Pike Road,

My name is Ella Dilbeck and I, a student of Pike Road Historical School, believe that there are a few issues with our school that we should fix. Our school is a great school, it allows students to work on their own path not just be lectured by a teacher, but it is Pike Road Historical School’s first year, and I don’t think that they have worked out all of the kinks.

Most of the problems revolve around our lunch. First of all, our school food is not the best. The food we have for lunch everyday in the lunchroom is not healthy at all, and on top of that it doesn’t taste good either. We have to be working for eight hours on school work. How are we supposed to concentrate, and do good on our school work if we are hungry? I don’t know about y’all, but it’s very hard for me to concentrate when I am hungry, and I never get any work done. Second of all, not only do kids not want to buy the lunches because they taste bad and aren’t healthy, but the lunches are way overpriced. For example, just for one chicken sandwich from chick fil-a at the school costs five dollars. You can get a chicken sandwich from chick fil-a for only three dollars. Nobody likes the actual lunch food, so they are having to pay for overpriced vendors. Lastly, we need more space in our school. Our lunch room is close to the size of the hallways at the elementary school. Our lunch room should be one of the biggest areas in the school, because big groups of ppl come and eat lunch there. Also, some of the electives don’t have classrooms, so they have to move around the school and use other teachers’ classrooms during their break periods. It is very irritating.

In conclusion, those are some of the issues that I have come across during the first school year of Pike Road Historical School. I think that we can work together to get all these problems fixed, and make our school a better place. Thank you for your time in advance.

Sincerely,

Ella Dilbeck

Dear Citizens,

My name is Catalina Quimby and I am here to take with you about several problems that I have with our school. Some problems that I have are lockers, bullying, and keeping the school facilities clean. Fixing these problems would help improve our school in many ways. Let's first start with lockers I have never liked the lack of lockers that our school has. If our school did have lockers it would address so many problems in our school, for example, safety, health, and specific needs. First being safe is an important thing to most people, for example, you do not want your things to be stolen right out of your bags. Second, carrying heavy book bags filled with things that you don’t need for every class causes pain in your shoulders and back and might even cause damage in the future. Finally, children, that play sports if they had lockers they would able to put all their sports bags in their lockers so they wouldn't have to carry them around all day till practices. Having lockers would fix all these problems indefinitely in our school.  Now let's talk about my second issue with our school Bullying. Bullying is a concept which is well known throughout schools all over the world. It is not a good thing because we want to prevent bullying. Bullying causes depression which could lead to self-harm. People, mostly children use bullying to make other people feel they are superior to the other people around them by influencing the children to feel insecure and week. We do not want our school to end up like this for the sake of you and me. Finally, the last issue that I am going to talk about is keeping our facilities inside our school nice and clean.  Keeping school facilities clean is an important problem which our school suffers from because I personally see trash everywhere, for example, in the classrooms, the gym, and throughout hallways. Keeping the school clean would help improve our learning and make us feel better about the way our school looks when new people come to see it. Keeping the school helps improve our learning by making sure we have clear minds so that we can learn more things. Let's keep our school clean for the well-being of our learning and our school. In conclusion, These are many issues that I would love to address during my campaign so I hope you vote for me for these reasons, thank you.

Love,

Catalina

Dear citizens of Pike Road Historic School,

My name is Sophie Burton and we all know that there are many ways to improve our surroundings but I’ve selected 3 to talk about. These are all things happening either locally or far away, but they are still increasing every day poverty,pollution, and protection in our schools are all things that we have to see around us everyday as U.S. citizens.

Poverty may not be something that seems that seems like a severe issue but it is, and so many people are living in poverty that you don’t even realize. Poverty isn’t just a person with no home, there's more to it these people have no money no proper clothing, little if any food and water,no education, and worst of all you can’t tell anymore if someone asking for money is a person really in need or if there a scam artist. These people would do anything to have a proper meal when we have them 3 times a day. Think about not just adults live in poverty teenager, children, even infants, innocent people who deserve more than what they are given. This honestly is a very serious issue.

Pollution is no stranger to us we think of it as trash on the side of the road, or empty bottles in the grass, or potato chips on the sidewalk. Honestly it’s much worse in other places, oil spills pour into ocean killing so many sea animals, factories with smoke coming out of the top and this smoke spreading from buIlding to building, and t think it all started from people not picking up their trash. I cannot count the times an adult had said to a child to pick up trash and the child says it’s not their trash they don’t have to pick it up.I mean it’s not going to kill you to pick up a small piece of trash, what can kill you is what happens when we don’t pick it up. The air is filled with dirt and smoke and who knows what else we can make such a difference jst by recycling and picking up our own or someone else’s trash.

Protection in schools and the students is something that has been concerning more and more schools all through the globe. Over the last year there have been so many schools who have dealt with bullying, suicides, and even school shootings. And sometimes we can stop these from happening if you see someone who feels neglected, meaningless, shameful any of these things go talk to that person. Sometimes compassion is all someone needs to brighten up their day and taking it one step at a time is a tremendous help to that person struggling. Shootings in schools however, is something that no one really even imagined would be such an issue, it makes no sense why someone would find pleasure in seeing children suffer. Students are in school to learn to give ourselves a brighter future, we should be scared to come to school because they think it’s too dangerous. School should be a safe environment for students to learn.

In conclusion, you should vote for me so that we can see these problem slowly disappear and turn into happy people living happy lives. I hope taht what you read made you think about your life styles and if it related to any of this and how we can change the way we live for the better. Thank You for taking the time to read what I had to say.

Sincerely,

Sophie Burton

Dear Citizens of PRHS

Hi, my name is Daeun Lee and today I will be addressing 3 issues in the Pike Road Historic School. The three issues that I am gonna addressing is the price of school lunch, lockers for students, and testing during mentoring.

The first issue is that i am gonna talk about is the school lunch is too much expensive. Our school sell a main lunch around 4.00 dollars. Our main school lunch is no that much tasty. They sell chicken wings, hamburger, hotdog, nacho and things. And also our school sell papa john’s and chick-fil-a.  If we add water or soda to papa john’s pizza or chick-fil-a  you have to pay $ 7 that is more expensive than main school lunch.If we pay money like this for a week we have to pay around 20.00 dollars for a week. So i think our school has to change the price of our school lunch price.

The second reason that I am gonna talk about is  we need lockers is that our school students wear heavy backpacks. The reason we have heavy backpack is that we carry a laptop (macbook). Secondly, we carry a binder, a notebook, and a pencil case in a bag, so our backpack is heavy. But if we have a locker in our school, we can put our stuff in the locker like binders, notebooks and pencil case and anything outs. But the computer we can not put in a locker because we have to charge it at home, but even if we only put our binders and notebooks,pencil case our school students can go to our school with our backpack lightly without our shoulder not hurt.

The last reason that i am gonna talk about is content assessment during mentoring time. Our school said we are not allowed to take assessment during mentoring because some students was cheating during test. So all students that our school is not allowed to take a content assessment. We have power focus area and additional focus area and each subject has around 8 power focus area and around 4-6 additional focus area. And we have to take lot test this year but we don’t have time to take a test. Because most of class period we have to work on our project which it take 70% of project that is really important. So we don’t have time to take a test during the class period. So many students have red or incomplete because they can’t take a test. So I think our school have to allowed to take a test during mentoring so students can take a test and have no red or incomplete in their summit and grade.

In conclusion, the three things that i think it is big issues if we work together i think we can fix those problem and make our school better and good school.

Dear Students of PRHS,

Hello, my name is Emma Grace Mesaris and I am here to talk to you today about our school lunch prices, littering around the community, and Fortnite being a distraction. These issues are becoming more and more common around our community, and school. The first issue I am going to talk to you about is School lunch prices. Here at Pike Road our lunches are way overpriced for example a Chick-fil-a sandwich at Chick-fil-a is only $3.05 but a Chick-fil-a sandwich at Pike Road is $5.50. At MPS all lunches are free or cost $2.50. Also other school lunch menus offer a variety of options daily but Pike road has one main food with limited sides. Pike road needs to lower their school lunch prices or give us more options like a potato bar, salad bar, and other healthy options. Another reason Pike road needs to lower their prices is because not everybody can afford these high prices for the type of food and the amount given.

The second issue I am going to talk to you about is littering around the community and school. As we know there are problems with littering around the community and school. Everyday I walk into school and around school campus and see trash everywhere. This is a problem and we need to fix it now. When you litter you are harming the environment, harming animals, and spreading disease. Here are some causes of littering , construction, laziness, not enough trash cans, and finally you just don't care, you should care because you are harming our community. Here are a few ways we can prevent littering, by putting up littering bins, take the time to pick up trash, putting up signs that say NO LITTERING, and finally tell our school and community that it is not ok to litter. We all need to ask ourselves, do you want a dirty community and school?

The third and final issue I am going to be addressing is Fortnite being a distraction in school. Fortnite is a multiplayer game in which the player battles others until they die. The last one alive receives the desired “#1 Victory Royale,” which is a big deal. Fortnite is a very big deal to many people and it should not be. People are taking this game way to seriously and even playing during school (they are obsessed). I walk around the school and see people playing Fortnite on their phones (and sometimes even during class), at lunch they are screaming yes I won or no I lost. This is not ok it and is taking away from our ability to learn. You should not be able to play Fortnite in school it should  only be allowed to play  after school hours. If the students spent as much time focused and obsessed with their school work as they are with Fortnite, all projects would be green and all standards mastered. We need to set boundaries on when are where Fortnite is played.

In conclusion, I feel it is at the utmost importance that we the community of Pike Road make these changes. Let’s band together and reduce lunch prices, stop littering, and stop the addiction of Fortnite! Thank you for your time and attention.

Sincerely,

Your candidate Emma Grace Mesaris

Dear citizens,

Pike Road Schools has two buildings. We have an elementary school and middle school. In middle, you have more education, more work, more books, more stuff, etc. The more stuff we have, the more our bookbags get heavier and bigger. Our backpacks take up space alone, but adding more stuff to them takes up even more room. If we put lockers in our school hallways, students can leave the supplies that they don’t need in the lockers. This is important because it helps students not trip over all the bookbags in the classrooms and helps the weight on the students back.

Second, the gym. I want to be safe while I am doing sports and working out. Usually gym floors have a good waxed, wood floor. Right now, our gym floor is concrete. This is important because many sports usually involve a gym floor. We cannot play most of those sports because we don’t have a safe floor for the sports. The school should hold fundraisers to earn money to buy and install the floor for our gym.

Finally, language choices for students. Our school has two languages that students are taking, chinese and latin. Most students aren’t interested in these two languages. I think that this is important because students should be able to participate in activities or classes that interests them. Students should have more choices as in, spanish, french, korean, etc. Also, all 7th graders have to take chinese. I think all 9th and 10th graders should have to take a language.

Thank you for you time.

Dear citizens of pike road,
My name is Sophia Starkey and I am running for president. I have three ways to improve our school and make it a better environment for us to learn. They are having comfier chair in classrooms, getting lockers, and allowing students to have more testing time.
Our school needs comfier chairs. Having comfier chairs was scientifically proven to help students focus on their work, which could help overall improve our grades. Having comfier seats could really be what helps us the students pass, since the main reason people are failing is because they can’t concentrate on what they are doing. Plus the seats are very uncomfortable.
We need lockers, especially since we have block schedules. We have eight classes to have stuff for which definitely not fit in our backpacks also our backpacks are super heavy already with just our four classes. Also after holidays or breaks we forget what day is next so we bring the wrong supplies or forget stuff. If we had lockers all of these problems would be gone.
Lastly we need more time to test. We can only test in the class the test is in and we don’t always have time to take the tests in those classes. Ever since we stopped taking test in mentoring people have fallen behind. We should just punish the ones who were cheating and not take away the privileges of the entire school.  It is the end of the year and if you only have one red we could fail. If we don’t have time to take the test then lots of seventh graders will be in summer school. Even if we don’t have any reds the additionals are a big part of our grades, so we need more time to test.
In conclusion I think you should all vote for me because I am sure you all agree my points which again are that we need lockers, confier chairs, and more time to test. Please consider all of this and vote for me, Sophia Starkey.
Thank you, Sophia Starkey

Hello my name is Chael Kerr and I am here to talk about a couple issues I want to address. The first issue I want to address is everyone should be equal no matter race,gender, or the way you look. In schools people are being bullied and messed with and that’s not fair because God made everyone the exact same no ones better or less their the same. Another issue I want to address is Taxes, People should not be paying Too much taxes. Also they make the people who aren’t as wealthy pay more than wealthy people which makes no sense because the people with more money should be paying more than the people with less money. Then Finally I want to address Education. This is a very big thing that everyone needs in their life did you know the US isn’t even in the top 11 for education. Well I am here to change that if we want this country to prosper and grow we are going to need to learn and we need kids to get a good education. Some schools teach very poorly and it’s not fair to the kids because they won’t be anything good when they get older. Thanks for listening and please take this in for consideration thank you.

Hello, I am Yvette Gordon. I will be addressing you three real-world problem that I find important. They are littering, bullying prevention, and clean water access.
The first problem is littering. This problem is important to me because littering can cause many problems. Those problems are that littering can cause animals to die, pollution of water, it destroys the look of towns and cities, and it can also attract rats and other harmful animals. In my opinion, people should think before doing anything with their trash. I believe this because they need to know if they should recycle or just throw it in a regular trash can, but one thing they should keep in mind is to never throw trash on the ground.
The second problem is bullying prevention. This problem is important to me because I don’t want anyone at any age to go through bullying. Bullying is a sad but serious topic. Bullying is a problem that happens to almost every child either on the internet or in person. Bullying can cause suicide, depression or self-harm to any child at any age. People usually get bullied because of their appearance, their sexuality, their nationality, or even based off of their grades. Cyberbullying happens on social media, blogs or even just texting with someone. When people cyberbully they usually make fun of the person post on social media and tell them something offensive about their blog or website.
The last problem is clean water and how 780 million people don’t have access to clean, healthy water. This problem is important to me because the unclean water can cause many diseases in people and in animals. The water is also so unsanitary to where you can’t drink or bathe. From the website www.wateraid.org I learned that “Every minute a newborn dies from infection caused by lack of safe water and an unclean environment.” To me, this is a problem that needs to be solved now. I know that people have started giving clean water but still, not everyone has it. Millions of people a day die from not having clean water.

Thank You,

Yvette Gorden

I will be Addressing 3 Real world problems today.

Trash is something all humans produce, but when we throw our trash away not only did we just get rid of something that could be recycled but every time you send something to the dump to be burned it created more heat in our atmosphere which causes glaciers to melt and oceans to rise and raise humidity.  By recycling not only do you help our atmosphere you make our air cleaner and save ecosystems.  If you go to the store and get a bag made of cotton fabric, mixed fabrics, or just make your own. You then can reuse that bag till you need a new one.  So by using only one bag for a whole year not only did you slow global warming you just make your communities air better.  Let’s say that your whole city only uses one bag per person per year then your community just dropped global heat temperatures by maybe .5 degrees and that difference is huge because if your whole state does that then Y’all are lowering global heat by possibly 5 maybe 6 degrees and you're making everyone's air a whole lot cleaner.  So help me change the world 1 bag at a time.

Did you know you can almost get 2 chicken sandwiches from chick fil A for the price of 1 chicken sandwich at our school? The school also shouldn’t charge so much for such a little portion. That sounds like their trying to take your hard-earned money.  While not only are there chicken sandwiches expensive their regular lunch is also really expensive coming in at a whopping $3.75 for a very small portion when I could get more for the same price if not cheaper at a fast food restaurant or grocery store.

Traffic everyone hates traffic.  Did you know that most of the traffic isn’t caused by to0 many cars on the road?  It’s actually mainly due to wrecks. This is because to0 many young people are on their phones instead of paying attention to the road.  Did you know on average 20-50 million people get in a wreck a year?  So if your unlucky enough to be going down the same road as one of these unfortunate people you may be waiting a good 15-40 minutes or even more.   So if you put that phone down and pick up the wheel, you could be saving yourself time and other peoples time daily.

Dear,Students

We have green days we have red days we all need to reassess on a focus area one day at a time. They have taken our freedom to take a contest assessment in mentoring. How are we supposed to pass the 7th grade if we aren’t able to take any test again.Think about it if we have 1 red in one class and that class is only on one day what are you supposed to do? That is why I am here I am here to encourage the teachers and the principal to give us back time to take a content assessment in mentoring. Like I said in the beginning of my speech we all need to reassess on something we all need to pass the 7th grade. In order to make it on to 8th grade we have to pass all of our focus areas and have a 70% cognitive skill to make it to the 8th grade.

My second issue is about not having enough time in mentoring.When we were able to take a test in mentoring we didn't have enough time to take the test. I would be in the middle of the test then the bell would ring.We are not aloud to take the test in our next class so… I had to stop the test and wait on the next day. We can fix this issue by making mentoring tim longer and give us the time to prepare and study to take the test.

My third issue is No more chinese. MOst of us take chinese but do you really want to take the class? I mean they didn’t give us a choice to take the class we just had to take it.I think that we should have a choice to take the class or to take something else instead of chinese.

Thank you,Students

Dear PRHS students,

Hello, students of PRHS. My name is Jaewoo Jung and I want to talk about how important the lunch is to us, and want a school to lower the price. Our lunch price is too expensive and we need to lower the price. Their charging way too much to us. The coke cost 2 dollars, which cost a dollar in the vending machine. This is 53% of our lunch prices. Also, some students are starving during lunch because they forget their lunch at home. It’s their fault that they left their lunch at home but you gotta let them be able to buy school lunch. I mean, if the price was lower the first place, then more parents will put money into their children’s account. I can make the lunchroom price more lower if I can convince the lunchroom ladies and principal with these evidence.

I also want to talk about violences we have in our school. Recently, there have been lots of fighting occuring in our school. People are making bad choices and it will harm themselves too. If you get in a fight, then you have to go to the office and meet with principal and vice principal. In bad cases, you will either get inside/ outside school suspension, or be expired if this continues. This will of course affect you in your future since all of your records will be recorded and be reported to wherever you go. Some examples can be like going to college or getting a job. This will affect you in a negative way where you won’t be able to go to good college or won’t be hired for your job because of your bad past. So all of this violences should stop because it will affect you and others in negative way. If you vote me, then I will make them stop by giving them more harder punishment and talking to their parents before the fights happen to warn their children about these kind of issues.

I also want talk about having our break back. Our bodies like really tired during the morning and sometimes our brain won’t be able to work well. If you take a short break, after your first period, then your brain would be good to go and start working again. You also need time to socialize with your friends. Little break for your brain can really help your brain working throughout rest of your day. If you will vote me, then I will convince our school principal to get our break. If we work together, we can bring our break back and make students happy again.

In conclusion, we need to lower our lunch prices, stop the violences, and get our breaks back. Remember, these stuff are for your goods. If you want to make your school life great again, then vote me. Thank you for your time reading this letter and I want you to vote for Jaewoo Jung.

Dear Classmates,

We are all aware that our school needs to be fixed, nearly all schools do in some way, but this school is in dire need to be changed. We have bullying, the lunchroom food is unhealthy and overpriced, and we have a small selection of electives when compared to other schools. These issues lower the quality of our school and the ability to excel here as you should, because you deserve that. Together, you and I can take these issues as far as the governor to change what is in desperate need to be changed.

The first issue is bullying. You might be wondering how that could be in our school, but no one can escape it. No matter what school you go to, you'll always see a form of bullying, be the victim, or be the bully yourself. Even if you're just joking around with someone, one slip-up in your words can change change the tone from light-hearted teasing to verbal bullying that can heavily affect someone's emotions in a negative way. I know that in the past at this very school, I was picked on, and that wasn't a good time in my life. I felt vulnerable and at fault for what happened to me. It was a depressing time where I would dread coming to school not just due to the work. This means I know what just a simple sentence a normal person wouldn't remember can do to someone. We already have enough drama and stress at school, and you have a job to not add onto that. Make sure you watch what you say, and if you see that happening, especially if someone tells you that it's happening to them, do everything you can to stop that.

If that wasn't bad enough, the lunches are no better. They are unhealthy and overpriced. It's so overpriced it makes you wonder where they're putting the money for this harmful food. This  food is unhealthy, and school was supposed to be one of the places where we learn that unhealthy food is bad for us! This means that understandably, as Tucker explained in his speech, the food is so bad some kids avoid it by only having a bag of chips and a drink for their entire lunch. This leaves them still hungry and unable to focus on their afternoon classes, which for most kids holds some of their academic classes! It's almost annoying in the way that one coding mistake on Scratch can ruin your project, or if you miss the superstar in Flappy Golf by one. In other words, it's frustrating to see kids resort to this lunch behavior because of the food! We as a student body shouldn't allow this to happen to our peers. Therefore, if you join me by simply voting for me, we can demand better lunch food that has a lower price and even go on a strike and bring our own food from home, forcing the school to give us what we want and what we need!

Finally, after elementary school, we are allowed to pick electives that we're interested in - the fun classes. Attending this school means we don't have that privilege in our choices of electives. We have to settle for the not-so-close seconds of what we really want. It's as if we really want to watch a video or play a game, but it won't load, making it more annoying than it would be if it didn't exist. It's like internet connection, it's more annoying to have a slow one than not have one at all. We only have one language choice when other schools have at least two. My friend attends a school where he learns German, which I would love to learn, but here I can't. The music class isn't serious in teaching them music. I have friends and people I've asked saying that they don't do anything in that class. If you want an art class, you have to join Graphic Arts, but what if a student wanted another choice in an art class? Makerspace in the elementary school is drastically different from Makerspace here, teaching a whole other concept. It leaves a lot of students feeling cheated out of what they thought Makerspace was going to be. If you want to learn how to cook, we should bring in a home economics class. If you want to free write for a period, we should bring in a Creative Writing class. These classes can be made for anyone's preference. We can take a poll of the students in the sixth grade now and the students at school to see what they would like for classes and then use that information to influence elective choice.

To make a long story short, there are problems here we need to fix and to stand together means change to fix them. If you come with me, we can fight for better lunches that are affordable, healthy, and what you, the students, would like to eat. We can propose the survey of students’ elective interests to create more classes we can choose from. Together, we can convince students directly to be more mindful of what they say or do to others, even if it's a joke. These are the problems we as the students can fix without having to tough it out! Right now our school is an unfinished project, so even if we have to be the ones to fix it, we will.

Sincerely,

Your candidate Jessica Brown

Dear Fellow Citizens of PRHS

Hi my name is Kayla Jiles and I am hear to address 3 issues that we have at our school. The issues that I chose were Bullying, not being able to take test during mentoring, and having to much homework.

My first issue is bullying. To me at school there has been lots of bullying and I don’t like it and I don’t think anyone else does either. Everyday just about someone will talk about someone or even get into fights with each other. I mean how do you feel when it happens at our school everyday. Do you know how many kids go home at night and punish and beat themselves just because someone is bullying them. I don’t and I don’t want to know and I bet you don’t either so lets stop bullying.

My second issue is not being able to take test during mentoring.  In middle school we will have lots of responsibilities and one of them happens to be passing  test. Testing can be hard and testing can be easy. But know finding time to take text is ridiculously hard. I mean we only go to each subject every other day and we have regular classwork to do within those subjects. So then we have mentoring. But that's taken away from us now, so we have no time to take test anymore.

My last issue is that we have too much homework. For instinct for me it takes about 3 hours to finish my homework. And then I have to take notes on test which takes forever. And on top of that we have personal things we have to do. Like chores or maybe you have an event to go to. Or even practice for dance, cheer, basketball or whatever it is. My point is there's other things we have to do in our personal lives that sometimes we can’t spend all night on homework as we attend to because of our plans.

In conclusion vote for me and I will make sure we will have less bullying going on, we will be able to take test during mentoring, and there would be less homework .

Sincerely ,

Kayla Jiles

Dear Pike Road Historic School Learners,

Hello, my name is Gabrielle Hails and I am here to talk to you about three important issues that will make PRHS better.

The first issue is homework. The reason that homework is an issue is because we have to much of it. Most of you would say that there is no such thing as too much homework but there is a such thing as too much homework. We all have the 4 subjects which is Math, Science, History, and English, so imagine that on the first day of the week that in three subjects you have a major project and in one subject you have a major test all due on the last day on that same week. You can’t do all of those things in one week. I will try to talk to the teachers to see if they can make manageable due dates.

The second issue is power focus areas. The reason that power focus areas are an issue is because of the bar line and the 7/10’s. The first part of this issue is the bar line. The bar line is moving everyday, so when the bar line moves and passes one of the test that you haven’t pass yet then in your mind you think that you are going to fail because you are told that if you even have one red by the end of the school year then you will fail that course. The other part of this issue is the 7/10’s. In other schools a seven out of ten is basically a C, but with PRS a seven out of ten is not passing and it is very confusing.

The last issue is the lunch prices. At PRS the chicken sandwiches that they get from Chick Fil A is close to 6 dollars. At the actual fast food restaurant it’s probably close to 3 dollars. I understand that they are trying to make extra money but it doesn’t have to be that pricey. A lot of people don’t have kind of money all of time.

In conclusion, I’m going to talk to Mr. Sikes to see he can talk to the staff about these three important issues.

Dear PRHS students,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       I want to address 3 problems in our community that I can fix if you vote me representative. First I will talk about littering, and how it is a worldwide problem and we cannot let our community follow the wrong path. The town of Pike Road usually has trash. The way I could fix this is put more trash bins around the community. This could really help the spread of trash and cleanliness over the area.  The second problem is how much lunch costs. When I buy regular lunch and a snack it is a total of $4.50 a day, that adds up to a total of $22.50 weekly. That doesn’t sound like much but it adds up to a ridiculous amount every month for s student to eat at school. I will lower lunch costs to fit the average person's budget and still be able to pay lunch workers. The third problem I want to address is how we need more space for people coming to Pike Road Schools. Pike Road is a growing community and we already have 1800+ kids in both schools and in the lower school they are still in the portables when they were for temporary use. The historic school is adding two more grades over the next two years and that will be an extra 200 kids. I will fix this by starting a fundraiser to make add ons to the historic school and another building to fit even more children for our growing community.

Dear Fellow Pike Road students

The issue I am to addressing about littering.  We need to help clean up all the litter in our school. Every single day we have at least 100 people litter at our school. The people that only picks up the trash is the custodians. I really think we should let the custodians take a break and, we the students should start picking up trash that's not even ours and, we can make Pike road schools a better place to learn in. So, when you see trash pick it up and throw it away. I will make organization to help pick up trash around the school.

The issue I am addressing is about lunch.  I’d think we shouldn’t have to pay  for lunch because why do we have to pay for they’re nasty food. For example we get the same food as montgomery public schools and we have to pay for it and they don’t. Why this issue is important to me because what about the less fortunate that can’t afford to pay 18 dollars and 75 cents each week.  Did you know if you pay for lunch from here for two weeks that 37 dollars and 50 cents? I will make lunch cheaper by setting up a meeting to convince everyone to make lunch

The issue I am addressing is about break. This issue is very important because students need break. The reason why we need break because a lot is on our mind when we start school. Break is the time to refresh our minds and talk to our friends. When we started to not have break our brain started to overwhelmed. For example when break was over students started making bad grades and getting incompletes.  I will try my best to bring back break by talking to teachers about this situation.

Dear students.

I am Bryar Gamble and this is my speech. I will be talking about a problem at my school pike road historic school,The issue is our class activities. To me in our class we don’t do a lot of activities that are fun and you get to choose what you want to do and not wait your told to do.We do some fun activities but not often.I know some of you might be thinking that I'm not saying that I want people to do whatever they want and in some cases I am but I want our school to do more activities like in science we don’t do many experiments we just do research and put it on a google doc or a school project that we are doing if you vote for me your school activities will come to you I hope thank you for listening to my speech.

I also want to talk about prevent drugs in schools. People will make bad choices when they use drugs and It can cause them to become depressed and have a hard time at school. Teenagers can get addicted to drugs early in their life and 13% of people that smoke pot as a teenager will become addicted to it. It is also important because it is ILLEGAL! Nearly 44% of high school students know someone their age who sells drugs.Preventing drugs in schools is important because many kids are introduced to drugs at school and can become addicted to drugs at an early age.

Thank you.

Dear Citizens of Pike Road,

Today I would like to talk about or school. There are a few things that could be fixed at our school like adding lockers. If we had lockers then we wouldn’t have to carry around the stuff that we don’t need which can get really heavy. A lot of things were stolen from our bookbags like food, phones, and a lot of other things. Something else that we could change about our school is finishing the gym. In our gym there aren’t any bleachers, and the floor is just concrete. Since we don’t have bleachers we can’t have any basketball or volleyball games at our school, so they have to bus us over to the elementary school.

Another thing that they could change about our school is the lunch room. Our lunchroom is really little and looks like a hallway. There isn’t enough room for people to walk. If one class was leaving and another was coming in then you would collide. After you get your food when you sit down it’s hard to pull your chair out because there is no room for it to go. Some classes have to bring their stuff with them to lunch and don’t have anywhere to their bookbags.

Sincerely, Anna Grace Pitts

Hello everyone, my name is Sydney Bowman. Today I will be discussing three issues I would like to fix, at Pike Road Historic School.  These issues are: Littering, having a better lunchroom, and getting break back.

Littering is a thing that happens, often at our school. You can find trash on the floor, almost anywhere. We need to keep our school clean. If we don't, that is showing how much we care about our school. Do you really want Pike Road Historic School, to be known as 'the non-caring littering school'? I sure don't. This is our school, and it's our responsibility to keep it clean. Even if it isn't your trash that was left somewhere, you should still put it in the trash, not leave it.

We need an actual lunchroom, not just a hallway and a small eating area. First off, you can clearly see the problems with this ‘Lunchroom’, if we can even call it that. The tables are too small, and it’s really just a hallway with a tiny room next to it. Besides the point have having bad lunch, it’s really hard to get down the hallway of tables. When it’s full of students wanting to get to class, and you trying to get to lunch, get ready for to possibly fall. We also have the problem of the tables being too close together. Some people, when trying to get up, bump into other people’s chairs. Some minor issues are people not having enough space for their bags, and people sitting on the outside of the table. Some major issues are that the whole lunchroom is just a hallway, and the food isn’t really good. I also think that there should be a place under the tables, to store backpacks. Like little cubbies or cabinets. That way, there would be more room under, and above the table (If you put your backpack on the table). I’ve noticed that some people put their backpacks on the chairs, which I do not like. The reason for this, is because it gives the person behind them (If there is one), less room. It’s even worse, if the person with the backpack on their chair, has the chair scooted out a lot. ---I feel the most complaints I heard about our ‘lunchroom’ is, that it’s just a hallway. Most of my friends say we need a real lunchroom, with better food and tables.

I think most people would agree with getting the break back. The students liked to be able to eat their snacks, and talk with their friends. I still do not understand why the break was taken away. We all enjoyed our little 18-20 minutes of free time to relax before the second period and would like to have it back. I hope next year, or before then it will be back.

Dear Students of PRHS,
I am Emma Jane Stricklin and I am here to let you know why you should vote for me for president.  I want to make Pike Road Historic School a better school and a better environment to be in.  The three things I will fix if you elect me as president is better lunches,lower cost, and more space.  I think all of these problems need to be fixed and I will tell you why.

The first issue that I would like to fix at Pike Road Historic School is better school lunches.  The reason I think this is an important issues is because kids need a healthy lunch to last them throughout the day.  Some kids don't have enough money to bring their own lunches and they don't like the school lunches so they end up eating just a bag of chips for lunch a day.  I think that PRHS should have vendors everyday of the week not just twice a week.

Which brings me to the second problem that I have with Pike Road Historic School is that the lunches are too expensive. The reason why some kids eat just a bag of chips a day is because they can't afford PRHS school lunches. The Papa John’s pizza cost seven dollars per pizza and the Chick-fil-a sandwiches cost five dollars which is way to expensive. Also the school lunches are 3.75 plus a drink which is one dollar and that is really expensive to buy every single day of the week. Which means at the end of the week you would be spending 22.25 which is a lot of money.

The last issue I want to discuss with everyone is the amount of space we have in our lunch room.  Our lunch room at Pike Road Historic School is a farley large hallway with a very little room off of it.  At Pike Road Historic School their are 400 students and the lunchroom can only fit about 100 students at a time. On even days I eat at a good lunch time which is 11:45 but on odd days I eat at 1:06 which is very late and by then I am starving.

In conclusion I think you should vote for me Emma Jane Stricklin for president.  The reason you should vote for me to be president is because I will give you a better lunch.  I will also give you a cheaper lunch. The last thing I will fix if you vote me for president is a bigger lunch room. Take all of this into consideration and vote for Emma Jane Stricklin for PRHS president.

Hello fellow classmates, my name is Taylor Vaughn. I am going to discuss the problems with testing time. We do not have a lot of time to take tests during the school day. Some students need to finish their power focus areas and additional focus areas in their classes. Some electives are pointless. That means they are taking up time we should have for testing. Some schools have a study hall. I believe we should have a study hall instead of one of the electives. Also, testing time was taken away during mentoring because of people cheating. They could have been looking up the answers, asking their classmates for answers, or they could have been looking at their notes. I believe the teachers should take more precaution so this does not happen. Because of these groups of people cheating, we no longer have extra time to test. This is the teacher’s fault and yours. Another thing I believe is that we should have school end and start earlier. Some people do not have time to study after school because of sports or other after-school activities. Athletes have to check out of school to get to their games or practices before it gets dark or they could be late. I also think we should have more personal learning time (PLT).  We need time to study for the tests we are going to take. Some athletes don’t have a lot of time to study after school because of their sports. That is another reason we should get a study haul. That is why I think we should have more time to study and take tests during the day.

Dear Citizens of Pike Road,

Hello citizens of Pike Road. My name is Madelyn Thomas and today I will be discussing 3 issues that we have with Pike Road Historic School. Those three issues are Lunch costs, Not having lockers, and summit. I know that we can fix these problems to come up with a better school system for pike road historic school.

Having new locker has been a really big problem in this school. Students have to walk around all day carrying their heavy backpacks. This could cause really bad back problems and back pain. I know this from experience. After I got into a car accident I had to carry around my backpack all day when I had an injured back. This cause really bad back pain. If I had a locker I would only have to carry around my backpack for a short amount of the day then put it in my locker and get the stuff i need. It also gives kids bad posture.

My next problem is Lunch cost. Our lunch cost way more than regular school lunches. Some people in our school can’t afford school lunches and are as much as 100 dollars in the negative. Our lunch cost 3.45 for a regular lunch. At our school a regular lunch is one scoop of whatever they have. For some people that is not enough so almost everybody gets extra which could bring your lunch cost all the way up to 10 dollars. That is way to much!
My last problem is summit Learning. Summit learning isn’t always the most helpful and most of the times the teachers have to go into more detail. Also it could be really bad to stare at a computer all day so if you took your test on paper it would be a break from the screen. It also helps us prepare more for if we go to other schools. If we end up going to a new school and we have to take tests on paper our grades would go down because we are not used to it.
In conclusion you should vote Madelyn Thomas If you want to change our unch prices, get rid of summit, and get lockers.

Hello fellow classmates. My name is Jason Brown. I am here today to talk about Three different issues about Pike Road Historic Schools. My issues are about the lunches. My first topic is about how the lunches are too expensive. $3.75 for not even a filling lunch is way too much. A Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwich costs 3 dollars at Chick-Fil-A. At PRHS it costs 5 dollars!!! They make us pay sooo much for a chicken sandwich. Some people can’t afford to pay $3.75 every day for school lunches.My next topic is lunchrooms. Our lunchroom is a hallway with tables and chairs. Why can’t we have A big normal lunchroom. How come all of the other schools have lunchrooms? Out of all the money they get off of lunches, they should be able to afford a lunchroom. My last topic is healthier lunches. Chicken nuggets? Hot dogs? Hamburgers? People wonder why so many people in the USA are overweight. We need healthier lunches. Some things we need are good not soggy salads, fish, Fruit, veggies, soup, wraps, and more. That would make school lunches a lot healthier. In conclusion PRHS needs to fix some things about lunch. Thank you for your time.
