6th Grade Tetherball
PFMS is a great school to be a part of, but there are some issues that we may need to pick up on. One of our problems is the tetherball pole below the 6th grade basketball courts. Usually, the people who line up to play are a lot taller than me, and I know that I and everyone else who is shorter would definitely lose a game in a heartbeat. However, don’t get me wrong, I love a challenge and don’t mind playing. But since I am shorter than “average” I find that a few everyday activities that we do in PFMS are rather challenging due to our height. Our first idea is to create a tetherball pole better for a shorter group of kids at PFMS. Everyone who plays wants a chance at winning, so it's only right to give that to this group.
Instrument Storage Room
The band/music department storage room is definitely a challenge. For those of you who don't know, I play the cello, which is about the size of a small child and a little shorter than me. So when you have to hoist it two feet above you because the bottom shelf is full, it can be dangerous for me and my cello. I've also seen really tall people putting their cello on the bottom shelf. Mr Shafer has told kids that if you are tall you need to put their instruments on the top shelf,but it's clear that some of those kids did not listen. So I propose that we make 2 of the 4 shelves for cellos for shorter kids, so it is easier to put away.This also goes for Violinists and Viola players,they get their own shelves but I have seen people struggling to put them away as well.
This was a short article, but I think it supplies a lot of information about struggles for shorter kids at school.Thanks for reading!
