Hey,

I'm here to help and ask me any question!

advice

I have a project that I'm doing for class, basically its comparing my school to those other schools around America. I was curious if you guys could send in facts about your school such as its location (just state will be fine), dress code rules (especially if you have really random, strict ones!) number of dances/events a year, if cell phones/mp3s are allowed on campus, other positives/negatives about your school!

Thank you so much, I appreciate your help!

Pennsylvania

-we don't really have that much of a dress code but we have a couple of rules. our shorts and skirts have to be fingertip length, our shirts have to be atleast two fingers in length at the sleeves, we aren't supposed to let anything really bad show, but everyone does anyways. so we have a dress code, but its not really pushed or enforced.
-at the beginning of the school year, all grades have one big homecoming, sometimes a winterformal, and this year we are planning on having a valentines day dance (but we've never had one before) and then juniors have a prom (in the gym), and so do the seniors (at some country club or some place really nice)
--- for homecoming we have a homecoming football game the day before homecoming (which we usually pick a team that sucks to play so we win and have fun the next night at homecoming) and then the next day we have homecoming
-we are not allowed to have cell phones in school, but you have listen to mp3 players at lunch or in study halls (and some teachers allow to you listen to them when you are working on a project in class) however; most student get away with the cell phone because they'll hide it from the teacher.
-we have some new rule where students aren't allowed to walk around in the hallway after 2:10 (we get out of school at 2:25 (start at 7:25)).
-we have to have passes to go everywhere, and the security guards that patrol the hallways can stop and ask for one, but they are pretty lenient.
-we have a whole bunch of sports and after school activities. (some cool ones too like girls rugby)
-our school mascot is a cougar!
-oh, and sport are HUGE around our area. our teams usually win states and everything. we have football games every weekend, and most kids from the high school (and the "loser" middle schoolers), attend it and its huge (but not where like all the stores shut down).

thats about all i can think of. good luck with your project!
