AHS resolutions

New Year’s resolutions are full of “get all straight A’s” or “no more cussing,” or even “cut back on junk food.” Some resolutions are easily kept, others not so much. While you may see your teachers at their desks, brainstorming the best possible resolution, or even Mr. Vannasdall in his office pondering one, very few of those well thought out resolutions benefit our very own AHS. AHS is a great school, but always has room for improvements. Why not create a resolution for AHS itself? With over 4,000 bright and young brains scattered throughout the endless AHS halls, there has to be at least one that can think of a great resolution that can enable AHS to be the best it can be. All it takes is one simple thought that can lead a galaxy of change.

Keeping the enormous, populated campus of AHS clean is a bit of a challenge however, many students are ready to set resolutions to help keep the school spotless. Senior Sabrina Consiglio explained that she thought “AHS students can set a new year’s resolution to not leave trash around the lunch area.” She added, “It would make the school look a thousand times better with very little effort. “ In addition, Sophomore Timothy Kong proclaimed that the school needs to put forth “more effort in keeping the bathrooms clean and organized.”

Another issue on campus that begs for a resolution is the line at the attendance office. With sicknesses like swine flu and the cold going around campus the amount of student absences has been tremendous. However returning to school is the problem. Freshman Daniela Jette can definitely relate, “The attendance line is ridiculously long. Therefore you get tardy sweeped walking back to class.” She concluded, “AHS should come up with a resolution to this long line, for instance the yellow slip that reads ‘Absence not cleared’ should also work as a pass to get to class, because of the long line.”

Senior Cameron MacDonnell shared, “Arcadia High School should set a goal to finish at least one of the buildings, by Senior Graduation.” It only seems fair considering that it is their last year and they should at least be able to see a new building that will be added to the campus of AHS.

These resolutions may not be official, however doing every little thing will help. The simple act of picking up trash can help AHS be a perfect school. Imagine how nice our school will be in a few years when all the construction is done with, and the campus is pristine, and the lines at the office are small. Every student could proudly say that they were involved in the building of AHS. Lets make it everyone’s goal for the new year to think of at least one resolution that will contribute to AHS.

Hey Anna,
You were supposed to write about students' resolutions, not what they want to change about AHS.

New Year’s resolutions are full of “get all straight A’s”, “no more cussing”, or even “cut back on junk food.” Some resolutions are easily kept, (change comma to semicolon) others not so much. While you may see teachers at their desks, brainstorming the best possible resolution, or even Mr. Vannasdall in his office pondering a resolution, very few of those well thought out resolutions benefit AHS. (run on sentence) AHS is a great school, but always has room for improvement. With over 4,000 bright and young brains scattered throughout the school, there has to (change “has to” to should)be one person that can think of resolution that will enable AHS to be the best it can be. All it takes is one simple thought that can lead a galaxy of change.

Keeping the enormous, (delete comma and add: and) populated campus of AHS clean is (change is to: may be) a bit of a challenge. However, many students are ready to set resolutions to help keep the school spotless. Senior Sabrina Consiglio announced that “AHS students can set a New Year’s resolution to not leave trash around the lunch area.” She added, “It would make the school look a thousand times better with very little effort. “ In addition, Sophomore Timothy Kong proclaimed that the school needs to put forth “more effort in keeping the bathrooms clean and organized.”

Senior Cameron MacDonnell shared, “Arcadia High School should set a goal to finish at least one of the buildings, by Senior Graduation.” With it being the seniors last year, having one of the buildings done would be a nice goodbye gift. (again, this is an impossible goal, also, most of your quotes are: what AHS should do, shouldn’t it be: what students should do? Because when you say AHS, it sounds like your addressing the faculty workers)

These resolutions may not be official (what resolutions? And what makes a resolution official?), but every little action can help (be helpful). (insert, for example)The simple act of picking up trash can help AHS be a perfect school. Imagine how nice our school will be in a few years when all the construction is done with, the campus is pristine, and the line at the attendance office is small. Let’s make everyone’s goal for the New Year to think of at least one resolution that will contribute to the campus (the campus? Or the overall school?) of AHS.

These resolutions may be difficult to reach but every little action can be helpful. For example, the simple act of picking up trash can help AHS be a perfect school.
