Hey
Intramural sports fans!! Most of you are probably thinking we are going
to have intramurals very soon-most likely in late October early
November. Well... I’m very sorry to say, we are not having intramurals
this year. Most of you are probably thinking now, “Well how come
we aren’t having intramurals this year?” Some reasons are; the school
doesn’t have enough money, we don’t have enough teachers to stay after
school and there is no other schools to go against.
If we were to have intramurals this year, we probably would've had basketball, football, volleyball and
soccer. For
all of these sports, there would have been at least 4-6 teams
consisting of 8th graders, 7th graders and 6th graders for each
sport. These sports only last for two months.
I decided to interview Mr.English,
and see what he has to say about this. I asked him three
questions;
“What is your opinion towards this?”, “How do you feel about not having
intramurals this year?” and “Is there any way to bring back
intramurals?” Here’s what he had to say; “My personal opinion is
that I
think intramurals can be or are a part of students’ lives and that it
is great for the students to represent their school.” He also
said, “I
feel horrible that there aren’t going to be any intramurals because I
have so much to offer to students that want to learn about the sport
they’re in and I also wish we can actually bring back
intramurals.” Finally. his last answer was, “I don’t know exactly
why we aren’t
having intramurals this year but most likely its because the school
doesn’t have enough funding.”
I, for one, am not to excited that we won't have intramural sports at
RCMS this year. I wonder how many of you have the same opinion?
