At this hour (7:30 am) there are about 250-300 students in the building. That would include zero hour classes, weight room, early use of gym (athletics) and students reading in hallway, waiting on media center to open and talking with teachers. And this is only the third day of school. As the school year continues it really gets busy at these before hours.
Walk down almost any hallway and there is some student sitting probably next to locker but not necessarily reading or working on homework. On many mornings there are one or two groups of students working together. Learning is important here. The students are serious about their work (and their play).
The building is hot already. The inside termperatures have to be 20 degrees higher than the outside weather. Air does not move well through this building. The humidity already is felt as one sweats just standing typing.
This is still a quiet time and the thing begins to come alive throughout the building. Doors opening/ closing. you can hear voice sounds down the hall. The sounds of a school begin - lockers, doors, kids, voices, noises.
We are in the beginnings of day three.
