Briana- Thank you for coming today. We are here to talk to you about changing our current lunch policy. We want to change our lunch policy so that seniors are able to leave during our lunch time to eat at places around North Kingstown. Here to talk about why we want to leave is Kristin Kruse. Kristin- As seniors we receive privileges that give us freedoms that the underclassmen don’t have. Unfortunately at NKHS the only senior privileges we have are senior row which for anyone who has eaten on it knows that it’s not a real privilege. Our only other is parking and not all of the seniors are even allowed to park in the senior lot. We need a privilege that can give us more independence and that is why we should be allowed to leave during lunch. Briana- Thank you and now here is Hanna Madsen to talk our plan for how this will work. Hanna- The lunches will be extended in time and shortened to three lunches to accommodate this new policy and grant new opportunities for the school community. Seniors will sign out in the office and then have the ability to leave the ground to eat. If they are late in returning to class, they will be given an appropriate punishment. Briana- As you can see we have a plan of attack. We are still in the planning phase of the project and to talk about that is Danielle Dutra. Danielle- After we came up with a plan of attack we contacted our administrators to set up interviews to discuss the issue. They all understood where we were coming from and how our strategy to pull this off would work. Kellyn- As seniors we know that school is supposed to educate us for our future, but we also need to learn how to have more freedoms that will occur once we graduate. By allowing the seniors the privilege of leaving during lunch we will learn to take responsibility for our actions. Briana- Thank you for coming and supporting our cause!
