 This year’s bell schedule has changed again! And this time most people hope the schedule will stay as it is. The schedule has changed four times in the last four years. Asked if the schedule will change again next year, Mrs. Franco stated, “I can’t say yes but there will be a possibility it will change."

In the past few years, there has been no big issue with water bottles in Gym Class. But recently, people have been spilling their water bottles so much to where it got out of hand. Therefore, water bottles are no longer allowed in the Gym. “Why can’t we have our water bottles out on the turf?” a few students are wondering. While conversing with Mr. Kvidahl, I asked him why we can’t have...

This year at Harvest Middle School, we have two rules that are being firmly enforced. This new focus on cellphones and hoodies are leaving some students a bit annoyed. "Why?" students are asking.  But the truth is, these rules have been in place for a while. This year teachers and staff are taking them a lot more seriously, for many good reasons.     Cellphones "We are so addicted...
