It’s the time of the year when the air is getting colder and UGG boots are being worn. But here on campus, it can feel colder inside than outside as some teachers keep the temperatures in their room colder than some students would like.

The result can be seen daily throughout the halls and in countless classrooms as students wrap themselves up in blankets throughout the halls and in class.

“Most of my classes are super cold,” junior Kendall Pulaski said. “I feel that the blanket affects how I work positively, because I’m focused and not freezing.”

Although blankets may not be in dress code, as far as the school is concerned, it’s not a concern.

“I haven’t heard anyone say it’s a bother, and it doesn’t sound like it’s a distraction in the classroom, which is the biggest,” assistant principal Stacey Whaling said. “As of right now, it’s not problematic, just because there have been no distractions or a safety issue.”  

Some teachers like it cold in their room, and don’t expect the students to like it, and are willing to compromise by allowing blankets in the classroom.

“It’s just like anything else in life, if it’s misused, it becomes a problem,” teen leadership teacher Jason Thurston said. “It’s just a way to make them more comfortable”.
