Time for something completely different
Driving past Mt. View School today, this writer was shocked to see the amount of garbage on the High School lawn. Not food mind you, but it looked like the township truck which picks up the yearly junk exploded. Everything was there from a couch to a kitchen stove, down to a rug. I am not talking about a few things - probably a couple of hundred items give or take. As of late this evening, most of it remains.
So, it’s time to round up the usual suspects. Time to check out the surveilance video as they did last year. Last year, class of 2007 wrapped the message board in clear plastic and a message “Mountain Poo”, or something similar was spray painted on the plastic. Obviously the intent was to have some fun and minimize the damage.
There is a pretty good chance this was the “Senior Prank” for the class of 2008. If this turns out to be the case, certainly very poor judgment was excercised by the perpetators.
It will take time and money to clean up this junk, never mind the message it sends to the taxpaying public. If in fact this was the Senior Prank, doesn’t this tell the public that these students care so little for their school they “trash it”? Some school spirit.
What a lousy thing to do to the rest of the students who presumably have school spirit.
Of course a much more disturbing scenario would be if the people who did this were adults. Let’s hope not…
One question for the staff at Mt. View, why isn’t the junk picked up? No matter who did it, it looks really bad and needs to be cleaned up ASAP.
Shame on whoever did this in the first place.
