During the month of April, the student parking lot will be closed to all student drivers in order for transpor- fation specialists to repave the area. All students who drive to school will need to find alfemate ways to school or find parking availability off campus. Due to the size of the lot, it will take approximately three weeks for completion of the maintenance. We know this situation will cause problems for those of you who drive to school, but be cause of the numerous problems and the budget recently designated for the repairs, the time cannot be changed. Extra school buses will run for the month of April to accommodate the extra students who will be riding them. Please be sure to check in the student hand book for times and routes for the bus schedule. April is generally a mild month regarding climate, so bike riding and walking would benefit not only stu dents, but the atmosphere as well. Rather than being upset by this inconvenience, let us consider this inconvenience as a way to go green! Party on: principal, police officer, popular underclassmen find new hangout BY DANNY PARTRIDGE Party Hardy Down (PhD) During the week of March 15-19, a significantly notice able number of seats in the caf eteria and benches in the Grove appeared to be empty during lunchtime. It is a well known Grimsley policy that only se nior students may leave cam pus for lunch; however, the disappearance of numerous underclassmen has raised con cerns for not only students but staff members as well. When informed on this mat ter, Principal Anna Brady and Officer Marc Ridgill teamed up to investigate this mystery. "Oh we'll find 'em, alright. They always run, but they can't hide; I've got the eyes of a hawk and the speed of a chee tah," said Ridgill. At the time, the man in black was exerting energy while doing jump jacks—mo mentum, maybe? "Ever since I was a little girl growing up in North Carolina, I have wanted to be just like "Nancy Drew," and now is my chance to shine. The issue of the missing students at lunch will be solved shortly, folks," Brady assured staff, students, parents, and other illustrious members of the community. On Friday, March 19, at ap proximately noon, Ridgill and Brady searched each building, only to find a couple making out in the cafeteria building (You little rascals...you know who you are!); one of the jani tors singing along with his iPod to '"Thriller" in Old Sci ence; and a teacher, whose name shall remain unknown, picking his nose in the Main Building. After a long walk around the entire campus, the two decided to enjoy the last few minutes of lunch outside in the fresh air. Immediately after leaving the gymnasium, they heard distant sounds, which they soon realized came from the bus parking lot. Following their instincts, they walked up to the bus parking lot to monitor activity in that area. Approaching the parking lot, something bright and shiny blinds Ms. Brady. "Ridgill, put that darn badge up! You're blinding me," said the principal. "Uhh, that glare is not my badge," Ridgill said sighing and pointing to the top of his head. A few feef ahead of the two partners on a mission stood a yellow school bus, #809 to be particular, and on that bus were several underclassmen. Some were fist pumping, some were jumping up and down, and others were dancing like no one was watching; little did they know. As Brady and Ridgill stepped onto the bus to bust the party going on, they were distracted by the impressive disco ball hanging from the bus ceiling and the in tricate system hooked up in the back of the bus. What could Brady and Ridgill do but join the dance party? Administration from Central Office asked both authorities for a report on the infamous lunch skippers. "Turns out the underclass men felt as if they had an unfair disadvantage by not being able to leave campus like the seniors, so they started a little harmless fun. Today the kids taught us how to 'Crank Dat Soulja Boy', and we believe this act of rebel lion could bring some spice to our campus. After all, lunch time has never been so enjoyable," said Brady, and Ridgill agreed. Sunbathing in solace leads two to trouble BY COPPERTONE BABY No Butts About It Employees have recently started gossiping about two of their colleagues who have been missing from the past three faculty meetings. The two cast aways have turned out to be none other than the infamous power couple of Matt and Kristian Martineau, math and social studies teachers, respec tively. While administrators searched to no avail for the two lovebirds in the teachers' workroom, the various offices on campus, and second floor of the Home Ec Building, the rest of fhe staff was entranced by staff development training for Marzano's "Classroom In- sfruction that Works" and the new evaluation procedures ef fective next school year. Recent evidence has put all rumors to rest. "High Life" reporters caught the Martineaus sun bathing on the roof of the caf eteria building after long days of hard work. Mrs. Martineau was reading "Psychology Today" while Mr. Martineau was con centrating intensely on his "90:(X) Soccer Magazine." At least they were enriching their careers.
