## Teams and Clubs

### Jefferson County Geckos (sport club)

The school's sports team is known as the Geckos, with the mascot being the same animal. Their coach is Nolan Mitchell. There is a general sports team, and an American Football team bearing the name of the Geckos. Both of these have a rivalry with Middletown Middle School's own respective sport teams.

#### General sport club

The Geckos is the general sports team many of the students of Jefferson County Middle School are part of, including Milo, Melissa and Zack. They have a rivalry with the Middletown Middlemen, whose mascot is Murray the Middleman. Wendy appears to be the Middlemen's top athlete that Milo, Melissa and Zack get confronted by the most.

##### Appearances

* "Athledecamathalon"
* "The Speech and Debate League of Death and Destruction Cross Town Explosion Event"

#### Football team

The Geckos is also the name of the school's football team, which plays every Friday night (which Milo and Melissa don't attend to due to Murphy's Law, having "Not Football" Fridays instead). The team has a rivalry with the Middletown Tigers football team, whose top athletes have been intentionally failed for six years straight and are practically adults while still in the eighth grade.

## Rooms

### Principle Milder's Office

Principal Milder's office has very light green walls and a window facing a hallway in the school. She has a large desk with two chairs in front of it and a plant in one corner. Another plant, alongside two photographs and a Matryoshka doll, sits on top of a bookshelf on the wall opposite her desk. There is a framed award hanging from the same wall.

#### Appearances

* "The Math Book"
* "Disaster of My Dreams"

### Ms. Murawski's Room

Ms. Murawski's room is the science room, and unlike other classrooms in the school, features large desks big enough to fit three people. The desks are each equipped with a sink for science experiments, while the walls are lined with cabinets chalk full of beakers, various experiment components, and a first aid kit. There are a number of safety goggles hanging on the wall and lockers in the back-left corner of the room. There is a closet full of science supplies in the back of the room.

A large, mobile, 'table of elements' is at the back of the room and there are a variety of science-related posters on the walls, including a poster reading 'Science Rules!'. A human skeleton named 'Boney Boy' sits on the side of the room wearing a top hat.

Her chair was handmade, alongside at least one of the pencils used in the classroom.

#### Ms. Murawski's Desk

Ms. Murawski made her desk herself and has a very deep, seemingly romantic relationship with it. She often caresses it lovingly, speaking of it fondly even when outside of the classroom, and becomes jealous and defensive when others are around it.

### Kyle Drako's Room

Mr. Drako's room is quite mundane, with a laptop on his desk and a whiteboard behind it. There is a plant on top of a filing cabinet near his desk, thick blinds over the windows, and a number of posters and pamphlets pinned to the corkboards in the back of the room.

Most notably he has a few pictures of his Ex-Wife, Agnes, in the room. The pictures are covered by sheets.

### Gymnasium

There is a large gymnasium on the school grounds, apparently separate from the school itself. Wide bleachers line the walls on one side.

The school's pep rallies are held here.

## Budget

The staff of the school is constantly worried about its budget after the school board made the decision to purchase a yacht.

* This caused them to cut the athletic decathlon and the scholastic decathlon into a single event, now known as the 'Athledecamathalon' ("Athledecamathalon").
* When Zack asks Principle Milder if they can turn the school lights on she refuses, claiming again that they needed to save money ("The Math Book").
* Principle Milder has stated that there is no school lunch program, and students must bring their own toilet paper to school ("Some Like it Yacht").
