Dear Community,
We are the Green Group participating in our English Class Literature Circle. We are five students writing to our community because we are concerned with the new rules that are in effect about our dress code.
Our complaint is not that the dress code is wrong, it is that certain rules aren't fair nor equal to the different sexes. For instance, girls are allowed to wear skirts that show their whole legs, yet boys are not allowed to have the smallest hole in their jeans. Another thing about this new dress code is that girls are not allowed to have sleeves anymore. This is not fair because in the past years we have always been allowed to wear tank tops as long as they were appropriate.
The new dress code has caused a lot of complaints. It has been a huge ordeal for parents trying to get their teenagers dressed for school. We know that a lot of our friends' parents had to go out and buy new clothes just to fit the new dress code. The solution to all of this is to go back to how it's been for the past four years instead of trying to change things up, just to prove that we changed things as a school.
Thank you for your time and we hope you all can agree with us, also.
Sincerely,
The Green Team

Book Jacket: Cycle 2-3
Imagine getting sent away from your parents and all of civilization because of something that really wasn't even a big deal. It would be difficult to not feel the least bit lugubrious and diffident. Let's just say that the punishment definitely did not fit the crime committed. It would also be pretty difficult to not be facetious to someone who was acting way out of line toward you when they're not even sure of the whole situation. In the end, there is a big surprise for Garrett and his friends. They had to go incognito for awhile when they soon realized that they weren't fooling any way. Read on to find out how the three friends survived!
Journal Entry: Cycle 3
The Weekend- Megan Collier
This weekend was a little crazy for all of us (minus two of our members.) Friday night, we had a girl's night. Lindsey, Olivia, and I went to Lexington to eat and watch a movie at The Movie Tavern. Then, later that night- we went to Ben Tuttle's where we enjoyed sitting in the hot tub and hanging out with his family. We love going out there during the weekends to hang with Suzanne and BT, along with our friends of course. Then, on Saturday- Lindsey and I woke up early to go to Lexington. There, we met Olivia and Lisa to look for Homecoming outfits. Afterward, we headed out to Ben's house again. We stayed from about 9 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. We had a lot of fun! Our weekends are getting better and better.
Senior Year- Olivia Skeens
It's now senior year and I would have never expected to not be cheering, considering I have cheered since I was in the 6th grade at McNabb Middle School. I enjoyed cheering all the way up until this year. It had become too stressful and I was just looking forward to the last hang outs with the people I have grown up with. Surprisingly, I don't miss it at all. The games weren't very fun anymore, and having to deal with the younger girls wasn't really putting me in the best mood. It was fun while I was the youngest one, but not very fun putting up with the immaturity levels of the new girls. So now, I'm just kicking back and enjoying the rest of what's left of my high school career.
Historical Movie- Tyler Murphy
Glory Road was about the intigration of college basketball. Texas Tech's coach went and found some of the best black basketball players to win a championship and prove a point to the country. This was a start to the movement of letting whites and blacks work together and show the country that racism wasn't worth it anymore. It's a historical movement because it tells the story of how this coach made the different races intertwine to work toward a goal.
