Today was the last Block Schedule day of the school year, which means it was the last day for the 5 minute warning. Although the Five Minute Warning (FMW) has only been implemented for 4 days, we have seen a change in the student body. The combination of the end of the school year and the FMW has appeared to liven up the school. As we walk through the hallways during passing period and the sound of the PA announcement warning tone rings, students anxiously wait for a song to be played. Some students would sing along with the songs played and others would dance. Many students made the primary use of the FMW and got to class on time. It was somewhat saddening today to give the last warning. We announced over the PA that it would be the final FMW and we even played the song a little longer than normal. We really believe that it made a difference at school despite some opposition from some students. We have learned that there is no way to please everyone, but when a majority is happy with what you've come up with, that's all that truly matters.
