The Penn Hills student body is outraged that our board made the decision to prohibit hoodies district wide. Although it might seem like a small item, hoodies are an essential part of our wardrobe, especially during the winter months when our classrooms mimic Antarctica's climate. A majority of the clubs and sports teams throughout the district use hoodies to show their Penn Hills Pride. What should we do now that this vital part of our school spirit is taken away? 

We, the student body, understand the concerns with the hoodies. However, we believe that the problem doesn't rest with the hoodies. The problem is in the enforcement of the dress code that was already established. We, the student body, challenge the board to look at and address the real problem.
