“Bison Time isn’t helpful because it limits students’ abilities to make effective and efficient use of their time,” stated an anonymous student.

However, some students would say that Bison Time is a helpful time to do school work and catch up with friends along with teachers.

“I think Bison Time is very helpful because it gives you something fun to do after a long day of school or have a study time to finish some homework,” a student stated.

For the students who don’t necessarily like Bison Time, there is noticeable tension towards the teachers; if students don’t enjoy or want to be in their Bison Times they may not behave or act positively. For those students who do enjoy Bison Time, its a good time all around.

Looking at the bigger picture, Bison Time can be a good use of time or just a waste of time for some students. So the question remains, is Bison Time really necessary? A survey showed that a majority of students would say no. However, many of the students at BHS take advantage of the time they have and do things productive to their schedule. With the blend of students saying yes and some saying no, Bison Time will just remain to be a time where students do the activities provided in their Bison Times until something else comes up to replace it.

Coming into the new year, BHS added a coffee bar available to students and staff in the morning and during lunches. The range of flavors varies anywhere from french vanilla to toasted marshmallow; french vanilla being the most preferred flavor by students.  A survey taken by 198 students shows that 110 view the coffee bar as a improvement to our schools culture. Even though many students responded they don’t drink coffee, a majority stated they thought the coffee bar was a good idea. So far, the new addition of the coffee bar has been a success, we will just have to see what the future brings.
