The school administration just let us know that the courtyard is officially open for all students during lunch. I honestly never thought this would change, but your willingness to speak up is what actually moved the needle. Please keep using that same energy to look out for each other and …

I am making this petition in order to be able to enjoy the fresh air during warm days in the school year, which helps many students with anxiety, claustrophobia, depression, and more. School should be a place where people don't feel trapped or controlled (during lunch, at least. Give us a break). School should be a place where people feel free and trusted, as they should be. Lunch is supposed to be a break from classes, a time to socialize and relax from a stressful day. Students should be able to spend some of their day in the sun which we physically and (some of us) emotionally need. Last year, many students were able to sit outside. Yesterday, a school dean made everyone go back inside, because we weren't seniors yet. People should be able to sit outside and the fact that this is even an issue, shows a lot about the priorities of weymouth high school. Please sign in order to help support ALL students and their needs/wants/human rights to sit outside during lunch. We are people! We should NOT be cooped up all day long. Weymouth high school can have an adult supervise outside, if the problem is supervision. hen did highschools stop caring about the students?

We should be able to sit outside in nice days instead of being crowded in a small cafeteria with people who are prone to anxiety.
I 100% agree with this. I graduated from WHS in 2013 and remember that this privilege got taken away from us then. Can't believe that it's still in play that you guys can't sit outside for 20 minute lunch break
I agree to let us go outside when it is warm weather because it is more relaxing then being in the hot school on hot days. Because the class rooms are too hot and outside we can get a breeze and fresh air
High school students are old enough to decide where they want to eat their lunch. Since you have to have monitors during lunch time anyway, it makes no difference if they are indoors or outdoors. The fresh air will be great for the students to refresh themselves before finishing up their work day.
I think it shouldn't matter who gets to sit outside. If I wanna get fresh air I should. I shouldn't have to be a senior to eat my lunch outside.

I was only allowed to once or twice while I was there and that was when I was the least anxious or depressed there. I graduated 2014.
