"Just Another Waste Of Space" I THINK NOT

"Hey where's your locker Ryon?"he asked."Its on the fifth floor where Ms. Morsons old class was at." I replied."Really?""Yeah the floors pretty quiet so nothing really happens up here and there's not as many classes up here like the second and fourth floor. But I still like it up here." I said with little interest."Then in September more kids will come here and how will the classes be sorted then there won't be enough classrooms for all the grades.""I don't know about that but we can use that room Mrs.Klose our art teacher uses to store her paper in it has a smartboard and all."I replied"But what about the pillars in that room it takes up to much space?Well the Library and our old science class has pillars in there but we still have classes there." I replied defensivly."Good point you smart."

The fifth floor storage room a place to store all the paper thats been donated to our school and also the place where our art teacher Mrs.Klose stores her paper also that uses in her art class ,NHD for our mandatory social studies project or any other project that involves using construction paper or colorful paper of sorts. In our small school thats growing I believe we can make a class out of this space and have a place for the new ninth or tenth grade students next year so they won't be so cramped like we were to some extent.
Should the storage room on the fifth floor become another class for our student body because our class space is becoming limited and problems will arise from this in the near future.In this storage room on the fifth floor lies the space that can hold an elective according to 10th grader Brandon Hawkins who believes we can store them elsewhere and he says"I believe we should store our materials in the basement with all those doors down there with the extra space behind them or the rest of the building and put it there.". Another student with an equally valid point said"We shouldn't move the paper because if Mrs. Klose needs paper she can get it from the storage room in no time and don't have to worry about watching her class.". These two thoughts of equal value are justified but are mere solutions to why or why not we should convert it to a class or keep at as is.

So not wanting to interview anymore students I interviewed the person who responsible for all the paper in the storage room I interviewed Mrs. Klose who had alot to say about this issue. So I asked Mrs. Klose could we find a way to store the paper in that storage room in the lower levels in our school? She says "There's no more room to store these papers in this school and went on saying and the donated paper our school received from our sponsors and it is alot needs to be in a convient place where she can get easy access instead of going up and down on the elevator." Making a good point in this interview I dug deeper to get more answers out of her and found out that room was supposed to be our ceramics room. She went on saying that the room wasn't built to qualify for a ceramics room because it lacked certain attachments. Our schools designer who wasn't a regular school building designer didn't attach a vent in the ceiling to put out the harmful fumes out the room from the kiln used to heat up the clay. Going on she said she had no place to put the kiln to keep out of reach of students because the kiln can heat up to 2,000 degrees which she said can "Vaporize" a curious person. Klose wanted to have Mr. Holdsworth's Phys. Ed./Health room currently the detention room for the ceramics class because of its dynamics, and it has a room behind the wall where she can place the kiln and use it to heat up clay and have a vent placed there out of reach of students. Since Fred is already settled in there though with all his gym and health equipment though Mrs. Klose will probably have to make the storage room the ceramics class.

Me being the interviewer believes that we should buy the library or reach some sort of agreement. I believe we should ask to use the room which actually looks like a part of our school heading to walnut street as a place to store our paper. It would be a hasssle for Mrs. Klose but I believe it will be a good investment in the future.when where she can have her ceramics class and make another class in this school whether its mandatory or an elective in our growing school....who knows not I.
