Dear Mr. Figeuroa,

Many kids complain about how their lockers are way too small. It isn’t very fair that most kids at Herbert Hoover Middle School have large lockers. Our lockers are about half the size of the large lockers. When its time to go to our lockers for our next classes we are all crowded in one area to get to our belongings. Many times, kids find their things because other students accidentally take the wrong books or folders. Many students’ things get ruined too, they get stepped on and ripped, most of those things may not even belong to them, maybe, students just have borrowed them. Students who have smaller lockers have a box at the top, you can open to put your books, folders, and many other things. Some students’ stuff fall out of that box and fall on many other students’ heads’, this has happened a multiple of times since the beginning of the school year! Locks have been lost in the crowd too. We should be able to have large lockers because we would have more space and no more injuries when we get our belongings. We would be packed and crowded in one area and get out of the locker area faster so that we will be in and out in a flash. Thus, we can fit our book bags and heavy coats when its time for winter. We will be able to have more space of the bunch of books we have! Life would be much easier. There are many unused lockers we can change them into big ones so everyone can have a big one. Where do we get the money you ask? We can open up fundraisers and earn money. If we have extra money we can send them to charities so we will be helping people and getting larger lockers at the same time! So, please think this through, if think positive things may turn out better.

Affected people paragraph: Multiple of students have books and folders falling on their heads' ( I have had personal experience) there are many injuries happening near the lockers. Many students' locks get lost too, they get lost in the messed up crowds of other students' book bags and jackets. Sometimes there are no where to be found. If we can't find the lock its the vice principal's (or to whom does these things) job to get new locks. If they don't have extras they have to buy brand new locks to who ever needs them.! Thank You.
