Jr. High Exclusion

We, the junior high students from Payson, are excluded from many activities. At our school we have a spirit week before Homecoming. The high school students are to dress "themed" all week long. One of these days is "Color Wars". The students are to dress in certain colors, or their class colors. The junior high doesn't have class colors, therefore can not participate. Everyday the students who participate are counted and put into a percent of the number of students in that grade. No matter how many junior high students participate we are not counted. A common thing for our high school students to do is run out of the tunnel and break through a paper teepee. Our 8th grade boys were denied when they asked if they could do this at their last home game. The junior high is also excluded from lunch privileges. The high school is allowed to order their lunch from Fastop. During the holidays they are allowed to decorate the halls, lobby, and gym. We decorated our hall for Christmas and our decorations were taken down. One more thing the high school gets that we don't is a pep bus taken to almost every away game, but they didn't take one to the 7th grade regional championship game. Does anyone else think this is unfair??
