Locked
In
On
October 16th, Student Council proposed a brilliant, yet possibly
disastrous idea. This being the idea of re-doing the middle school’s “Lock In;”
where kids are locked into the school and stay up the whole night participating
in games and movies.
Since
this was originally done in the middle school, it’s been untested with much
older kids. So, to me, this proposal is very shady, considering how many kids
will be attending. In middle school, children are contented with simply running
around screaming all night, but I feel that boredom will ensue if this happens
in the high school. When high school kids get bored together it usually doesn’t
turn out with people playing tag in the gym.
If
everything goes well it could turn out to be a very well-structured and
profitable night. There will be a small fee to enter the school before its
“locked down.” That money will go toward the Student Council’s fund which, in
turn, can be used for other activities in the future. Also the chances of
unwanted things happening during the event will be diminished because there
will be a decent amount of supervision from volunteers and teachers alike.
Putting the worries
aside, the Lock In does have some valuable activities that could interest kids.
The plan is to have everything from movie rooms to playing basketball in the
gym, with various other things going on in teacher’s classes. Not every kid may
find something to interest him or her, and therefore, not everyone has to
attend. It will probably be a good time if everyone tries to make it so.
Currently
this proposal is under consideration by Student Council, but has been approved
by Mr. Sargent. To actually make this happen Student Council needs to work on
planning and acquiring the supplies they need to make it a good time. Hopefully,
all of this goes through, because it could be very exciting if done right.
