Rosemary Clarke Kids Visit PVHS
March 15, 2018
On February 12th and the 14th, eighth-grade students from Rosemary Clarke Middle School visited PVHS to see where they will be going for the next four years of their lives.
The kids entered through the back cafeteria doors and lined down the hallway where Student Council was ready to greet them. The groups that the kids got into were superhero themed, heroes like Thor, Star-Lord, Batman, etc.
Before they were sent off to the groups, assistant principals Chuck Fannin and Jason Odegard as well as Principal Jennifer Ehrheart, talked about what they expect from the new freshmen.
Mr. Fannin greeted the kids when the got all settled in. He introduced them to Mr. Odegard and Mrs. Ehrheart and told the kids what they both do.
Principal Ehrheart took over and told the kids what she has changed since being here and how she does not want any failures from anyone.
Mr. Odegard talked about the sports we provide here; like football, boys/girls soccer, wrestling, etc. He also mentioned what clubs we have to offer here, like ceramics, auto, rodeo club, and many more.
The students would get little tickets with the logo of that hero and at the end of all the speeches, they would be sent to their groups to tour the whole school.
The groups would mostly go to elective classes like graphic design, auto-tech, culinary. They also went to the band room and the band kids performed a song for the kids visiting their room.
It’s exciting to see new students roam the halls and explore their new school for the next 4 years. The students that still go here don’t care for the new kids, but it’s not like anyone can stop them from coming. Good luck to those who will be here next year and I hope they will try to make the most of their years in high school.

Mrs.Earhart tries her best to do what she thinks is right for students. All of the new policies she has enforced are to make this school a better place. All of these eighth graders coming up here next year think that they are better then us and they don’t listen to us when we tell them that it is a bad idea to mess with other kids and they should just leave them alone. If they don’t want to listen let them learn there lesson. If we want a better education we need to learn to ignore them and move on. They will eventually learn to leave us alone.

To me, the article was well-written and interesting to read and its cool to see and read about these new students and their experience. I think welcoming new comers are great and the older kids could actually help them with work or most important things about high school Everyone changes when they come to high school you realize who is your true friends and the ones who are gonna stick by you the most.

Everyone will eventually finish their four years required here. Personally I believe everyone should just mind their own business and get their education.

Rad article. 8th orientation is a lot of work but it’s great for an incoming freshman.

I want to say welcome to PVHS and hope that you have a wonderful high school year of your lifetime and try to make sure that your always positive to students, teacher, ect and just try to have a fun time in high school because it could get ruff or easy depending on how things go.

Every year 8th graders come to the high school to give a heads up to them selves and to help the view that they are going to have for the next four years. I remember my 8th grade year how i walked through the same doors . This is a well written paper, and explains how and what kind of things are in this school, and i think that is pretty darn cool.

My eighth grade year, visiting the high school was so exciting! I felt comfortable with the staff and what they were informing us on. To the incoming freshman, enjoy these next four years, don’t care about what others think but be smart in the meantime and be kind to one another! They really do fly by!

I think that this a good way to support our kids. It helps us and lets us know that we are very important to our staff and community and help us stay on task

I personally think this is a good article, not many mistakes and it gives the reader a good idea of what’s going on.

Welcome students coming into PVHS. I`m sure you might be nervous and a bit intimidated but I wouldn’t worry as long as you act appropriate and follow the rules. These four years that you’ll be here I hope you make lots of friends and gain knowledge that is valuable to yourself, you will need it for the future. Stay positive and have fun!

I remember when I was in 8th grade and when we came to the school. It was definitly a welcoming experience and it helped me learn a bunch about the school. I hope the 8th graders gained as much information as I did when I was that young.

I like the way you wrote this article but my opinion is I don’t think that Mrs. Ehrheart should of said “We don’t want any failures from anyone” I kind of think that it was unnecessary because someone can’t help to fail if they are having problems at home and they don’t have the help other people have. Yeah that’s their problem to fail and the school gives the amount of help they need to make sure they have the help but if they don’t want to try or nothing then that’s on themselves. Everyone changes when they come to high school you realize who is your true friends and the ones who are gonna stick by you the most. Most of the time you wont walk out with who you walked in with.
That’s my thoughts.

Personally, the new grading system that Principal Ehrheart has supposedly come up with is not the smartest way to get people to do good in school. From the rumors around school, she wants to waive students who are failing but have 40-50% but the people who have 0’s in their classes will not be waived. Most students in the school dont have 0’s in their classes most students who fail have 30- 50% , waiving these to D’s and allowing to let the people who don’t try in school pass will send them into adulthood uneducated causing problems down the road, then the blame will fall back on the high school. Freshman will earn that they don’t have to put in effort to pass their classes, that they wont have to take initiative to succeed. I feel that the new grading system is just not a good idea especially for freshman in their last four years of schooling before they go into the real world.

It’s not that the kids from the middle school are not welcomed. It’s the fact that they think they will run the school. The older high school students don’t care for freshmen who don’t pay attention and listen for their own good. Personally I think the principal is trying to hard to make sure everyone graduate, what about the kids who are working hard? No credit or meaningful reward for the good accomplishments. Students who choose to fail will fail no matter how hard you try. These middle schoolers now believe they don’t need to try and they believe that the high school will be ran by them.

The 8th graders are so tall. Or maybe I’m just short.
