Many C.K.M. students are unaware of our school’s new technological asset: a new marquee in the front of the school.
The class of 2018’s student officers labored over the decision of what gift to grant the campus upon their graduation. They first considered purchasing a kiln for the ceramics and VAPA classes, but they wanted a gift that could reach more students. So, they next considered a water bottle filler similar to one that is currently installed near the front of the auditorium. However, they decided that this idea, having already been done, was stale and boring, and they wanted to leave their stamp on the school so they could go out with a bang.
One day, Mr. Hubbard proposed that a new marquee be installed, and all student officers, as well as administrators, were on board. This way, every single C.K.M. student would see the new project in action for years to come. Administration soon came up with the necessary funds, and soon the project was underway.
“It is supposed to be spectacular,” said Mr. Gatten, co-advisor to the class of 2018. It can display pictures in high definition as well as a wide range of colors.
The greater obstacle in this project has been a lack of technological training. As Mr. Gatten stated, we already have a fully functional and exciting new marquee, but we cannot reap its benefits and see its potential without new technological knowledge of how to control it.
“We’re still waiting to see the full range of what this marquee can do,” said Gatten.
