Tuesday, February 28, in digital art and imaging teacher Erika Sands’ room, METS students who received a 3.0 and higher GPA were given a “pizza coupon,” which qualified them for a slice of pizza and a soda.
Some students were concerned about the fact that they only received a slice of pizza and soda. METS sophomore Asiris Chavez, who has a 3.67 GPA from first semester, said, “It kind of sucked that we didn’t have a big ceremony because I know they’ve done that in the past and I worked really hard so I think that I kind of deserved one.”
Some argued that they were perfectly fine having the pizza and soda. METS Sophomore Samoana Poyer who earned a 3.2 GPA said “No, I think it would have been nice but I’m not complaining, I enjoyed my pizza.”
METS counselor Charles Acosta responded to the students who thought they should have held a big ceremonial event, saying, “We’re holding off on doing it until we get the auditorium back where we can bring all METS students together.” Acosta explained that Poly’s auditorium will be opening next year and that is when they will hold the ceremony honoring the students with a 3.0 GPA and higher.
