In the past few months, there have been a number of drug-related disciplinary actions. In one case, there was a drug-related expulsion, and in another, a drug-related punishment was downgraded. On Feb. 28, a student was arrested from a November charge of selling marijuana.

“In my opinion, there has been an inordinate number of suspensions relating to marijuana, whether it is an issue due to direct use or something we found out or having to do with the police,” Principal Tony Pavia said. “We’re seeing a marijuana that’s different than the ‘old’ drug; it’s not just a harmless teenage experiment.”

For students, winter usually isn’t a friend. Biting cold air and dropping temperatures force teens indoors, where heaping plates of holiday cooking are thrust in front of them. Whether someone is a year-round athlete, on their off-season, or doesn’t exercise at all, winter tends to bring a few presents and a few pounds.

Imagine this: A student given one month to write a 50,000 word creative piece (over 100 Microsoft Word pages), who’s keeping in mind that it’s not even for a grade.
