Pike Central cafeteria may be getting a new look By Ed Cahill The Pike Central High School cafeteria may soon be getting a whole new look. During the regular monthly meeting of the Pike County School Corporation's Board of Trustees on Tuesday, Oct. 10, a group of students in Beth Bohnert's Eng- lish 11 Honors class presented a proposal to redecorate the cafeteria, which they de- scribed as "very bland." "Honestly, our school, its condition, rep- resents how we are as a community," Dan- ielle Indorf said. "So with it being kind of plain, it shows that our pride maybe isn't what it should be. "But we are a very prideful communi- ty, especially with who we are and in our school," Indorf added. "We have just a whole lot of pride with our Charger spirit. This way, we can brighten up the school and make it a little bit more accepting." During a brief Powerpoint presentation, the students took turns describing the var- ious features of their proposed "cafeteria redecoration," which includes painting the bottom half of the cafeteria walls burgundy and the top half gold. One of the proposed changes is the re- moval of a set of vending machines from a cubby hole in the cafeteria and turning that space into an area similar to "The Vault" – where patrons are asked to sign their names on the walls inside a walk-in safe – at the Cakes and Coffee Cafe in downtown Peters- burg. "We plan to repaint the burgundy in- side the cubby hole area, as the surround- ing walls are, and above the opening ... we want to have Charger Nation in cursive, yel- low writing – because we're Chargers and we're kind of a nation," Hannah Carnahan said. "Whenever students come into their senior year, we would like for them to sign their name in silver marker and the year they graduated so their mark is always here at Pike Central." The estimated cost for the project, Colt Armstrong told the school board, is a lit- tle under $ 600. "This is where we hope you guys will come in and help us with this project," In- dorf said. Madison Miller told the school board that the students had applied for a grant at Lowe's but that they would not know if they've been awarded it until January. Alex Traylor, however, said that they were considering other fund-raising options, such as painting parking spaces. "Or a really good after-school activity like a volleyball tournament or a dance," Mill- er added. According to Anna Hartley, it is hoped that the project could be started – and, per- haps, completed – during the upcoming Christmas break. "If we have enough money in our bud- get, we'd like to hire a professional painter," Hartley said. "But, if we don't have enough money, we have students and staff that are willing to come and paint." Alex Traylor told the school board that word about their cafeteria redecoration proj- ect had spread throughout the school. "We've had a lot of teachers and other stu- dents ask us about what we've been dong and what we've been working on for so long, and they've actually been really supportive of what we're doing, and they'd like to see the change," Traylor said. "We want to re- paint our cafeteria because, as you walk in from the parking lot, it's kind of plain and uninspiring since the walls are just white. And you can see all the scuff marks that have been made on the walls throughout the years." "We feel it doesn't represent our school and our community as a whole," Traylor add- ed. "We feel this will give life to the cafe- teria, and will make the people coming in proud of what Pike Central does and what it looks like to all the surrounding commu- nities," Traylor added. "I love the entire idea," school board member Chris McKinney announced. "I'm glad you do," Miller replied. "We love it, too." "We're excited about it," Traylor added. "It's exciting to know you guys are look- ing at things that way and saying, 'Hey, what can boost the learning environment? What can create more spirit? '" board president David Waltz said. "I mean, spirit in a school is important." Traylor said that Bohnert had been very supportive of their efforts. "We asked Miss Bohnert plenty of times how we should do it ... so many times," Tray- lor said. "She liked all of our ideas. She wasn't, like, 'No.' She's never not liked an idea. She's always been supportive to us." Bohnert noted that the students had been working on the project since the start of the school year. "We were talking and they were, like, it's really plain in there, and we think we can do better," Bohnert said. "So I said, okay, go for it. What can you do? They have re- searched. They have called people and do- ne interviews. I'm really proud of what their final product is." Pike County School Superintendent Su- zanne Blake, in response from an inquiry from board secretary Ron Sharp, said that funding the project out of the school corpo- ration's capital projects fund would not be a problem. "I think our next step would be maybe to help coordinate some things to get a per- son in there and see where we could go with it," Blake said. "I'm not trying to put it off. I would say let's consider if you want to move forward with seeing if we can find a painter, seeing if we can find scaffolding, and see if we can get it in within their timeline." "We like the idea," Waltz said. "I don't think funding's going to be an is- sue," McKinney said. "And you guys are invited to help out, too," Miller replied. Later in the meeting, Pike Central High School Principal Brian Holland commend- ed the students. "They presented to Mr. Igle and my- self during homeroom about a month ago, whenever they were going into the process," Holland said. "They'd kind of made it into a competition to see who had the best pre- sentation, and then, when we talked about it, we starting talking about, yeah, they were all great – we like this idea the best, but we like this idea, too – and it's kind of morphed into some of the other ideas that they pre- sented to you tonight. So I think they're open to ideas." "It's encouraging to me to hear that stu- dents want the opportunity to make an im- pression, and they're always coming to me, talking about different things that they can do to make the school better," Holland con- tinued. "We talk about climate and chang- ing our culture, and part of doing that is making them feel like this is theirs, and they take ownership in that, so I'm very proud of what their presentation was tonight." Also appearing before the school board were Winslow Elementary School second See CAFETERIA on page 8 4-H enrollment underway Mya Furman, Kyleigh Earls and Keyla Martinez giggle as they pet Brian- na Boren's goat at the 4-H Enrollment Day on Sunday. More than 93 people participated. They were able to see various guns used in the Shooting Sports 4-H Club, learned about the "NEW" Dog Obe- dience project, met baby goats, chickens and rabbits and the club members who have these as a project, painted a pet rock that looked like a pump- kin, and used a tack hammer to make a Halloween ornament. Miss Pike County Bailee Sutt, Teen Miss Abigail Sutt, and Little Miss Keyla Marti- nez were present to share the pageant fun. They also got a real pumpkin of their choice, courtesy of JMR Farms.
