By creating this policy, it will give students a motivation to improve their grades, keep their merits high and get a license/permit, so that by senior year they can have their own parking spot. It will also ease the burden of a student driver, who struggles day in and day out trying to find parking.

But where can they make a student parking lot at Bell Gardens High School???

By removing the tennis courts and outdoor basketball courts, it will give plenty of room to make a student parking lot. It won’t even cause any dilemma in the school. We don’t have a tennis team The PE classes can use the small gym or big gym to play basketball. It’s a perfect solution.

We petitioned this idea to Principal Chavez, and he said that it is a great idea. He said that it would bring a solution to the no parking that students endure.

Our main goal as a group is to have an impact on future generations. We don’t want future seniors to endure the same problems we have faced due to the lack of no student parking. It will bring a great deal of positive impact to the school, and to the students.

Knowledge: We learned that student parking is a necessity for many student drivers at Bell Gardens High school. Skills: We learned to be more organized and work as a team to get the project done Attitude: We always had a positive attitude as a group. Good teamwork !!
