Our school’s Senior Society has given seniors time in June to explore opportunities beyond the classroom, including volunteering, working, internships, and other real-world learning opportunities. It was originally 3 to 4 weeks long, but this year it has been reduced to just 10 days. This limits valuable chances for students to learn, grow, and prepare for life after high school. Research shows these experiences help students succeed, so we ask the school to restore the program to its full length. So please extend it back to its original length to give seniors the opportunities they deserve. Sign the petition to support us!
