Remember the good old days where you could freely park in the PCS parking lot without mass amounts of competition and fear? These days are no more. Now, as we all are fully accustomed to, in order to park in the PCS parking lot, you must get to school at least 20 minutes early or simply get lucky.

     Why is this you may ask? We have a theory: our friends at the administration, have knowingly and purposefully created an environment in which parking is now a fierce competition and a luxury of which not everyone can afford. Why is this? The answer lies in the scale. With rising obesity rates nationwide, PCS responded to the drastic call. They have limited our parking to increase our personal and communal fitness levels. Now we get to walk distances we would have previously only dreamed about. Our strength and resolve is tested and, ultimately, fortified each day when literally dozens of students trudge to school.

     The horrendous stairs are but another piece of the puzzle to which we are solving! The steep incline of the stairs was a purposeful architectural element that was created to help us. We can all attest to the feeling of satisfaction you gain after you surmount the stairs.

     So, the next time you start to complain about the blessing that is our parking situation, think of our kind, loving administration that genuinely cares about our overall wellbeing. So let’s send a big PCS thanks their way!

With love,

Your Pals at the PCS Roar.
