Editorial: Stop vandalism

Recently, there has been vandalism on Colonial School property.

And it’s not the first time. There is vandalism that always occurs each year, like the paper towels being flushed down the toilet. This year, though, it’s been happening more and more often. Colonial School’s old pipes can’t handle it. It’s not just the toilets; it’s also that students are writing curse words all over the bathroom walls, and carving them into the plastic of the stall walls.

And you still have yet to hear the worst of it all. An enormous wad of bubble gum was found stuck to one of the computer monitors in the library. It was discovered when one of the school librarians walked in to start work. This never used to happen in Colonial School. So now all the kids are asking, “Who did it?”

The mystery has yet to be solved. It needs to be. Let’s take care of our school.
