Mega lunch at our high school has been an essential part of the school day, providing students with an hour-long lunch period where all students could eat, connect, and relax together. Having this experience was notably impactful in enhancing our high school journeys collectively, as it made socializing and spending time with friends easier and more enjoyable, adding a refreshing break in the middle of the school day.

Recently, talking about turning this lunch period into A,B,C,D split lunches surfaced, a plan that is to be implemented in the upcoming school year. It is crucial to highlight the importance of mega lunch for students' mental health and socialization. As a study by Journal of School Health states, providing students with more free time during school can positively impact their mental health (Ames, et.al, 2019). Mega lunch should be seen not as a privilege, but as a necessary part of our school day contributing to social skills and emotional well-being.

By signing this petition, you stand with us in support of reinstating mega lunch and asking the school administration to prioritize students' mental health and socialization over administrative convenience. Your signature is a step towards retaining an essential part of our high school experience and preserving the unique school spirit we have cultivated together.
