Fall Break By: Alissa Alver

  Students all need a break occasionally to reset their brains and start fresh. Fall break is the perfect opportunity to refresh and relax with no stress! According to a PDF from a site called broku.ca “That being said, many universities across the province are implementing a policy for a fall break in hopes of alleviating students’ stress and anxiety to improve mental health, heighten retention and increase academic productivity.” this shows that universities and schools are agreeing that breaks should help children to focus more and have better mental health” Khloe Ellis, a sophomore from Hillgrove high school stated "I feel like some students well like all students need a break occasionally because after High School there is not going to be many breaks unless you just do not go to college. " Khloe expresses her thought about how breaks or no breaks effect student's mental health or energy level. 

We all love going on vacations, but it is always super crowded everywhere you try to go. Well not during fall break. According to Go Opti, “Summer months tend to be the 

busiest throughout Europe as many travelers around the world have vacation time then. When September and October come, families with children and summer travelers return to the classrooms or back to work, which means you will be able to peacefully discover your chosen destination and not waste your precious time waiting in the lines.” This explains that during the end of summer, people say fall or autumn is the best time to go on vacation. Lily Castellon, a sophomore from Hillgrove High School disagrees with this statement. She says, “Going on vacation it is a good thing it is just really crowded everywhere” Lily's statement shows the disagreement towards vacation destinations not being crowded or less crowded during fall break. Some students would rather have a longer summer and no fall break, but does everyone agree with this? A sophomore from Hillgrove high school Joseph Ulysse, says “how we have it the schedule now with fall break and normal summer because summer is cool because close end of summer you want to go to school because you get bored at home and want to go out more and stuff like that.” Jospeh gives his opinion on having the same procedure we have now that same summer and fall break is more beneficial for him.
