            Southeast Polk would like to announce that The Café has closed. The school has been debating this decision for some time now but the permanent decision was just made this previous Sunday, March 29.
            There are multiple reasons that the school board has decided to ban The Café and one of the reasons is it gives students too much access to food. The school is trying to change bad health habits around and make students healthy. Many students come up many times a day and get snacks to snack on during classes.
            The Café is a place which is located in the Commons by the lunchroom, it is open during passing time and study halls for students to get a variety of different foods including; apples, Pop Tarts, yogurt, chips, and many other items.
            “I run low on energy and getting snacks at the café is the only thing that gets me through the day,” sophomore Carrie Underwood said.
            Another reason the school board decided to ban the café is because it is a disturbance in the classroom. Many times it has made students late to class because they will wait in the line to get their food.
             “I feel like it will make my classroom a more efficient place for students without the interruption of others and students showing up late,” said English teacher Sandra Bullock.
              Also once they have their food, they then sit in class and crunch on their food and cause a distraction from others education by crunching their chips so loud a student turns around and punches the other student in the face. 

 APRIL FOOLS!

Kaelee Kessee Managing Editor                  In social studies Eric Gross’s AP Human Geography class, students have been learning the skill of answering essay questions that will be seen on the AP tests this May.                 The questions are known as Free Response Questions or FRQs for short. The questions are centered on the material learned in the class throughout the semester. The most recent FRQ pertained to the information learned in the second unit of the book over population and migration.                 The students had the opportunity to take their first FRQs home to work on them overnight.                 “I thought that for the first one it would be good to do a take home assignment to gently get [them] into it. Next we’ll be doing one in class and eventually as a test,” said Gross.                 When grading the tests, Gross looks at the responses the way any AP grader would when looking at them this summer.                 “I look for: Did you answ

Demi Muchmore Editor in Chief                 Notice the sticky notes on all the lockers as you’re walking in the hallway to class? You have Stand For The Silent members to thank for that. These aren’t just ordinary sticky notes, on every single sticky note there is an inspirational quote to start your day.                 During spring break, students that are a part of stand for the silent got together and made a sticky note for every single locker in this school. Mrs. Goodrich is in charge of this club and actually came up with the idea. “We did it to uplift people after coming back from break,” sophomore Cassidy Oberbroeckling said.                 When asking other students what they thought of the idea, they responded with positive feedback. “It was a very good idea and it was cool to walk around and see all of the different messages,” senior Nic Henderson said.                 Doing these creative messages can really help to brighten a student’s day after everyone
