If you grandfather out the headdress boxes then you will have the same issue with the girls who make it next year. Those young ladies are also looking forward to the rewards of being selected Indian Twirler or Indianette Officer. My feeling is if the parents are willing to pay, and I can't believe that there is anyone out there trying out for these positions that doesn't know it costs money, then let them pay. The school district is not paying for any part of those boxes so why do they get to decide. If the case of the inappropriate material on the box arises again then deal with that one student and one student only. Don't punish those who do what they are supposed to do. I have two daughters who are still in school. They both want to participate in extra-curricular activities in high school and I know it will cost me money so I have started saving now so that I will have the needed funds if it is needed.

I don't understand why the school would want to spend unnecessary money on boxes when they don't have to. IMO, if it is to save parents some money, limit the big sis-little sis gifts. Those can get rather expensive.

Along the lines of tradition, I have a question. Does anyone else think that our signs that are put up during the games have decreased in number and size? Our students used to make such great signs. I agree about the boxes--let the girls have them. Correct the problem, not do away with the issue to avoid problems. I hate to see school administors give in to parents when the school is right and the student is wrong.

I don't think the number of signs has decreased I just think they don't have any place to hang them like we used to. Back in the old stadium we had the fence line in front of the end zone and now that is gone. Now the only place to hang signs is on the fence line in front of the stands.

I have heard that the Indianette Lt. are going to use past Cap. and Lt. boxes. I mean really why not just let the girls decorate their own boxes especially when the school couldn't get the correct size boxes. Why punish everyone for one persons actions.

I'll be the first to admit that this is just what I've heard. It could be true or it could be something that was taken way out of context in every possible way - I would have no way of knowing for sure because I'm not involved with the Indianettes. |

The thing about being an Indian is that you're an Indian, no matter what. It doesn't matter if you play soccer or a tuba, it doesn't matter if you're on the football team or the drill team, it doesn't matter if you lead the cheers or the jeers. You're still part of that "Honor, Pride, & Tradition."

The returning Varsity Twirlers will be able to use their boxes again this year. That was officially announced yesterday.

Yes, this is true. I spoke with Mr. Curl and Mr. Wells, thank you guys for making this possible. I have tried to not say anything negative on this website about any individual involved, but I have reached my limit. Today Ms. Briggs called in the Sr. Twirlers and pressured them not to us their boxes. The two Co-Head twirlers have decided not to use their boxes, due to this meeting. Apparently these two twirlers were put in an uncomfortible position because of this "meeting". WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM LADY? Why can't you leave the girls and their boxes alone, let them have some fun with just an ounce of self expression or individualism. I know in the big picture, this issue is just a dot....on the day to day running of a school district, but I think Ms. Briggs should see this as a dot and LET IT GO! She is not on the field performing, this is not her Sr. year in school, it didn't cost her a DIME for these girls to have a decorated box. JUST BACK OFF!!!! |
