Considering that school starts later in the summer, those days are compensated with a lack of fall break, which means there is a long stretch until the first week long break of the school year. We have Thanksgiving break in November, but it never seems to be enough and ends too quickly. With fall break, the boarders could also go home and visit family because, in October, many of them go home on weekends and have to skip some school since we don’t have a fall break for them. Most students wish we had a break before November.
“I think it’s needed, especially since boarders have to come here on campus so early in August, I think that our next break should not just be Thanksgiving,” sophomore Kosa Enoma said. “I think we should have a break before, so I could use it as time to relax and really just take advantage of the time I was offered.”
Sophomore Mia Grioni has very similar options to Enoma, agreeing that fall break would be very good to have, and that it would be a good break in between August and November.
“Fall break should be in the middle of October because we have Thanksgiving in November and Christmas in December,” Grioni said. “Also all the other surrounding schools get out and get a break, which I want too so I could go visit my family friends in California, or go to Italy to visit my grandmother. At my old school in California I had fall break and it allowed me time to regroup and be ready for the next semester of the school year.”
Fall break would be nice for everyone, teachers could have a break and students would even go on vacation. Fall Break would allow those who would rather stay home, to get a break from school. Students could reset and recharge for the next couple of weeks before Thanksgiving Break.
“I think we need fall break so I could go on a vacation to Santa Rosa Florida in 30A,” freshman Sophie Spears said. “I think it should be in October so it’s not too cold if I wanted to go to the beach and also it’s a good time in between August and November since November is the next break. Having a break to separate this long season without a break would be a great time for a vacation with friends and family.”
