Week 3: About My School...

Olympia High School sits deep in the middle of many corn and bean fields. Surrounded by 8 tiny towns making up the schools population. Typically, the four parking lots are full of second hand cars. Many people would rather be part of a big school, but the best part about going to a smaller high school is there's so much more freedom and you know almost every person you see. Once a new kid get here everyone notices. But that is also the worst thing. Like other schools, when someone hears a rumor, it spreads like wildfire. There's no stopping it.
No matter who you are or what your interests there is a group for you at Olympia. You like football, we've got a team for that. Also Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball, Soccer, Golf, Swimming, Cross Country, Track, and others. You like music, we've got a whole hallway for that! Band and Chorus are the main large groups in this hallway. But there's also marching band, madrigals, pep band, court singers, chamber choir, concert band, and pit band, along with others. Olympia's auditorium has just been redone and will soon be filled with people as the fall play takes the stage. Also, the spring musical and speech will be coming up soon. If none of this interests you there are many cliques as well. There's jocks, preps, band nerds, chess team, scholastic bowl, and everything in between. No matter who you are or where you come from, we all share a common ground-we're all high school students who are looking for who we are.
The most important thing to know when coming to this school is to never think too far into anything. Tomorrow it wont matter, so just deal with it today.

I would totally agree with you on this. We do have groups that everyone falls into.

I would have to say that I like that Olympia is small and we all know eachother. I wouldn't want it any other way.

There is def. a group for everyone. Even if we are small, it's easier to bond with the teams.

go Music! I love band and Chorus, on a different note we have the same background it reminds me of the carpet in the auditioreum.
