As a student of the Lawton Chiles Middle School community, I am personally impacted by the lack of outside seating during lunchtime. The lunchroom is overcrowded and too cramped, not providing the desired space or environment conducive for eating and socializing. Providing an outdoor seating option would not only ease the crowding in the indoor lunchroom but also offer a refreshing alternative for the students. This petition seeks to bring back the concept of outside dining, which has been a past amenity in our school. In a survey conducted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, there was notable improvement in students' mood and concentration post outdoor breaks. Let's take constructive steps towards improving the daily school life experience of our students, and encourage Lawton Chiles Middle School to reinstate the outdoor seating for lunch. Please sign this petition and lend your voice to this cause.
