Students need more space

As I watched the drama performance this past Friday at Eastern’s Showalter Hall, something seemed to be not quite right.

Watching my fellow high school students perform very admirably on a stage that wasn’t their own seemed again, not quite right.

Without a remodeled high school, the Cheney community has made it difficult for our drama performers and others to have a place they can call home for years to come.

After evaluating my four years at the high school, the time has never been greater for a refurbished high school.

The hallways are incredibly crowded, often no room to move in between passing time, not to mention, the portables are a ways away for students traveling from one end of the school to the other.

Additionally, the portables interfere with student parking. We don’t have enough space in the parking lot, with (School Resource Officer) Sgt. Kelly Hembach now asking for us to park on the street out of necessity. This is extremely unfortunate, but our only option. Therefore, I ask you to please vote YES in the next bond election.
