Upstairs Bathrooms Are Now Open
by Erwin Cruz and Richard Barboza
Did you know the upstairs bathrooms have been reopened after
being closed for many years? Some people say they were closed
because they were haunted or because someone heard screaming
in the bathrooms. Those stories were not true. These bathrooms
should be used only by students who are in the
classrooms upstairs.
