  • Students with longer lunch times eat more nutrients than students with a shorter lunch times. they are more likely to enjoy their food and eat healthier options when they are not rushed
  • I think we should have a longer lunch because I feel that we don'y have enough time to eat. We have to go a long time in the day wearing masks so I feel that we should get at least 5 extra minutes of snack and lunch.

The school administration remains dead silent while we continue to choke down our food in mere minutes. They expect high performance without providing the basic human dignity of a real meal break. I am hammering the principal with emails until they actually address this.

The administration thought we would just keep our heads down and accept these rushed lunch periods. This surge in support proves they are dead wrong and that we are done being ignored.

I think that 15 min is definitly not enough for us only because we feel like we are rushed and not finish there lunch. And since we wear our masks for 6hr plus recces we dont get enough time to just sit relax and breath without a mask. And for snack 5 min doesnt seem enough either because it takes me about 1 min to decide what I eat and then I only have 4 min to eat not only that some teachers come early and think we already had snack and make it short or some teachers even start snack later and we dont have enough time to eat

PTA lunches are coming back and they are very generous and give us large portions of meals, normally by the time lunch is over we still have a quarter of good food left but time is up and we have to throw good food out and now our parents are getting mad at us because they are throwing money out and really I don't blame them. Please this whole petition is just for 5-10 extra minutes for lunch and snack.

Students will always learn better on a full stomach.

Grade 6 students also think the same

15 minutes is only 900 seconds. 900 hundred seconds is not enough to eat a meal.

I am always hungry, and our current lunch time just isn't enough.

If I am going to sign this, I would rather it being for Senior Division as a whole, seeing how all of us have a right to eat for longer periods of time.
