Courses she'd like to see
In a second installment of alternative story ideas for your back-to-school issue, I offer more inspiration from the Palo Alto High School online publication, the Paly Voice

Check out their article titled, "Courses not offered, classes we'd like to see." 
Courses Not Offered
Shannon Caffee of the Paly Voice


Here the writer creates a clever list of classes she wishes were offered at her high school.  Highlights include:
  • Social Etiquette for Boys and Girls
  • Bellydancing
  • Ebonics Around the World
Create your own course wish list or survey students for their suggestions.  Who knows, maybe you can convince your school to offer a course in 'Snowman Building' in time for the first freeze!
