Week Six

I took spring break week off, and it was very nice to sleep in.
This past week I helped my mom and her coworker Tammie get set up for a middle school event. I had to run back and forth between the high school, where they were organizing things, and the building they are renting for office space because they had forgotten some supplies there. I hadn’t been around the high school since I graduated, and I was surprised at the changes that are happening. It especially surprised me that they were still working during the school year. The office had moved and there were signs of construction throughout. I guess they want to complete the project quickly, which is a good thing.
Before I helped my mom, though, I finished up the recruitment packets for Bekah Peters. She wanted around 100 packets. I also found out that the packets have applications in them; this is probably a good thing if they are supposed to “recruit” people. All in all it wasn’t a bad week.
I have noticed that the superintendent and his assistant are somewhat standoffish. It’s not just with me; everyone in the office is treated with the same sort of indifference. Makes me think they are either really busy, or really stuck up. Hopefully the former.
After talking to my mother about my concerns with Dr. Page and Mr. Brazeale’s behavior, I found out that they are both very busy, and Dr. Page isn’t much of a people person to begin with. I would think that a person in an authoritative position should be more open to people in general; however, I could have been in the wrong position to be judging his personality. My mom did say that he was very busy, and I am not sure if that is all his fault. Those beneath him, or Mr. Brazeale, could probably pick up the slack a little more. Those are my words, by the way. My mom made no such insinuation; I am assuming that this is one possible area of improvement.
Anyway, the high school as I said earlier is making major changes. The office was once at the north end of the building and has been moved to the center of the building in front of the auditorium. They are turning the old office space into new biology labs that will receive new equipment. There is currently an outdoor area next to the cafeteria; there are benches and tables for students to sit at. The school decided that students no longer needed an outdoor area, so they will extend the cafeteria and eliminate this area. One major improvement will be new seating in the auditorium. I know that was something my class had always complained about. The building will also be getting new windows. I think that this will do a lot for the looks of the high school. A completely new high school would have been preferable, but the school system can only do as much as the community allows it to do.
