This school is filled with thieves. Anytime a sport team stay after school to practice, there are thieves hanging around the locker room to go through the kids bags taking things. Solution: Let the kids line their bags up nice and neat in the gym, if they practicing in the gym. If they are practicing on the field, let them bring the bags to the field. If the school is not going to give them locker in the locker roomm this would be a prevention. Let's be proactive instead of constantly reacting. The pay to play system should only extend to the fees of the sports, not every the child owns.
