Good evening! Hope you are having a good day. Varshini and I just wanted to say THANK YOU FOR FIFTY SIGNATURES!! Just a few days ago, this barely had five. Fifty isn't much, but I know we can do it!
Once again, share this with your friends, family, and anyone who would be interested. Like I said before, please repost this message wherever it would be helpful:
Help Mercer students get their lunches and sign the petition below! Every signature makes a difference. https://chng.it/t6DgQFkmJw -Akshara and Varshini
Now, here's a few reasons people should sign our petition:
1) Students who are vegetarians, have special health conditions, can't eat something based on their religion/culture, or simply don't get what they like leaves them hungry the whole lunch period. We can't promise the lunch lines will be shorter this way, especially with the new added system, but at least the majority of the students will be getting their lunch.
2) This is easy to do. All Mercer has to do is embed a survey in the lunch app that people can take the day before so they'll know the percent of people buying a certain lunch and will stock up on that and lower the ones that most people don't buy.
3) This will help the whole school! I've had multiple experiences of not getting lunch, and so have a bunch of my friends. If we don't have lunch, we won't have the energy to do the next classes. Some people are used to it more than others, but for me, I know for a fact I wouldn't be able to focus if I was hungry.
Thank you again, everyone, and I hope we can make this happen for the people left hungry!
