I was very concerned by the school board's recent announcement that lunch breaks will be shortened next year. this may seem like a good idea now, but in the long run it will only hurt students. the current lunch break gives students a chance to exercise and breathe fresh air. more importantly, it lets them take a break from their hard work. shorter lunches don't give students enough time for a real break. for the sake of all students, contact the school board today and let them know that breaks matter!
