Shade Structure (Student Interviews)

In response to the new shade structure construction, the Howl got some interesting feedback. Many students believed that the shade structures would benefit the school. However, other students didn’t think it was the best decision.

“One of the pros is that we will not get sunburnt,” said eighth grader, Ella D. “A con is when (the weather) is very cold, (students) may want some sun.”

Not only did the shades affect temperature, but other aspects as well. “When they were building (the structure) all the eighth and seventh graders had to cram into the little pathway,” eighth grader Hailey E. said. “When it’s sunny outside, we will have more shade.”

Most students had the same thought. “It took too long to make,” said seventh grader Junior T. ”They should’ve done it over the summer break.”

Others were conflicted. “[It’s good because] there are more seats and shade when it’s hot,” said Chloe H. “But I was annoyed when they were building it. It took too long to walk around the construction to class.”

Among the array of different students, there were many different opinions. But most can agree that the installation is a great addition to our campus.
