Character of athletes should be considered

Kenya Grauberger, Editorial

Many, if not all staff members and students take pride in our school and how we rGrauberger, Kenyaepresent it. Athletes and club members are the best representatives Greeley West and are under the watchful eye of their peers and me
mbers of the media. So why is it that we allow anyone who wants to participate to do so?

Greeley West cheerleaders are a role model in this regard.  Coach Subia requires letters of recommendation prior to tryouts. The way the teachers think about potential cheerleaders is important because they are essentially the one who represent our school spirit and pride at assemblies and athletic events. I believe all sports and clubs need letters of recommendation before they are allowed to participate.

Allowing just anyone to show off West’s pride is not the best idea. Exemplary students that also behave in and out of the classroom are what we need to let everyone understand that Greeley West not as bad of a school as people make it seem to be.
