BOMB THREATS
I am a junior at NWHS and I have talked to a lot of the students about how they feel about this subject. Only a small percentage of students are actually scared for their lives. About ninety percent are frustrated and angry at these unknown students. There are some rumors floating around that it could be a senior prank but this is getting too out of hand. The bomb threats have cost the fire and police departments thousands of dollars to just show up and find nothing. We are evacuated about every other day now and every purse, bookbag, nook and cranny are searched thoroughly before releasing us back into the school. This process takes approximately three hours or more. We wonder if we'll ever see our fourth period class again. We are very far behind now. It is completely ridiculous, and it is getting very old. The fact that everyone's learning experience is ruined by only a select few is ridiculous. Everyone is exhausted and angry. If I knew who was doing this, I would turn them in in a heartbeat. So would most of the school population.
