Dear Mr. Figueroa, 12/10/09

Do you ever have that feeling when you have a lot of space? When you have those feelings of happiness and relief? When you also have that feeling of organization-knowing that you don’t have to cram all of your things into a tiny space? Well this is how half of the school does not feel. This part of the school has the small lockers. These students have to shove everything in their lockers such as school supplies and their backpack! When they do this, it’s usually hard to find things they need for their classes. In 6th grade, most of the 6th graders have larger lockers than everybody else. This tells me that they think they’re better than the rest of the school. So when they have the large lockers, the Stingers have the small, skinny lockers- where they don’t have enough room to put anything. I think that the Stingers think of themselves as unimportant and at the bottom. L Since I am a Stinger myself, I think that it’s not fair we have the smallest lockers in our hallway and that we’re different than the other students in the other teams. From my experience, it’s really hard and disappointing that I don’t have enough room for my backpack and my school supplies in my locker.

** __What is the Difference__ ** Have you ever wondered why other teams act differently from others? Have you ever stopped to think that it’s not fair to certain teams to have small lockers? Well Stingers do. They have to carry all of their school supplies around the halls because it’s hard for them to fit their stuff in the lockers. But the other teams (Rockets & Knights) can carry one binder then just go back to their locker after that class period is over unlike Stingers can. I always wanted to know why some students with the small lockers leave their lockers opened. This is because they have so much supplies and such a little space! The reason I say this is that when a student has a small space, it eventually leads to unorganization. In fact, some students don’t have enough space to fit their backpack! This is why they need bigger lockers- to keep all of their school supplies, binders, and backpack in the locker where it’s organized and where it won’t open. If this happens, then the students on teams such as stingers will be able to keep everything in their lockers. As you can see, students want the same advantages as others,such as:
 * __Lockers Like Everyone Else__ **
 * having more space
 * being more organized
 * not thinking he or she forgot something
 * and so much more!

These bigger lockers could help students have & keep an organized locker where nothing could be lost or taken. Would you like to see your students... If you said yes to most of the questions, then all of the school should have the bigger lockers,not the small,tiny,unorganized lockers.
 * organized?
 * not have things of their own on the floor?
 * have the same advantages as everyone else?

= AFFECTED PEOPLE PARAGRAPH =

The affected people in this situation might be the board of education, the school, and the teachers. This might affect the school and teachers because they have to pay for the demolishing of the small lockers and renovation of the larger lockers.They might even have to pull some strings to get the material for the lockers,which might even double the cost of renovation. If you agree with this concern, then the new big lockers will leave you,the school, and the teachers of the school more organized, And a more organized person will be a more responsible person! What you decide is always and will always be your choice.

Sincerely, Corinne Alviar
