On Wednesday, January 17, 2024, Preuss students arrived at school to find half of the Manchester Field closed off with rope due to an unexpected oil spill, caused by a leak on one of the lawn cutting devices the school utilizes to upkeep its grass.
Due to half of the field being closed off to the staff and students for about a week, our P.E. and athletics courses were affected in that it took away the space P.E. students and athletes could have used to practice and exercise on.
“There were many students upset over the closed off field, even staff too, like the PE teachers. One insisted that they should still be able to have their students play because it was “only a little spill, ”stated Mr. Michael Artinian, aka Mr. Mike, our campus supervisor.
