Changes in store for classrooms next year

by Emily Hines and Tommy Verdon

Every summer PHS changes things up at our school to help improve the way things work. This year some well-known improvements were the painted walls, newly planted flowers, and separating the middle school from the high school.

This summers to do list has been lengthened in hopes of making the school a bit more efficient and more comfortable for the students and teachers.

“Over the next summer we are going to paint and clean every room, like we usually do, and we are going to re-work all the elementary classrooms with a ventilator system. They’re all pretty bad right now. We need to re-pipe and re-valve,” stated high school principal Mr. Cook.
Not only are the elementary students receiving an update of their classrooms, the high school section has a few things on the way. “On the high school side we are going to put three-way valves and control units in so that we can regulate the temperature in each room. If you notice over the years, one classroom will be like Bermuda and the next like Antarctica,” shared Mr. Cook.

Most students at Pittsford think highly of these ideas and think the school will benefit from them, but one has some ideas of her own that she thinks might be helpful. “Painting the lockers and maybe giving different locker colors to each grade would be a nice way of separating grades,” shared senior Jessica Ruder.

We can only look forward to the possible changes for ’09-’10 school year with high hopes they will all work out as planned.
