As the Holidays are right around the corner time off from school is expected. The time students have off for holiday breaks can be for celebrating, spending time with friends and family, getting some chores done around the house, or getting some extra sleep. But some might say that they don’t have enough time off others might say the time they have off is perfect.
According to a few students at PHS, they feel they are not given enough time off. One student said, “When I come back to school I feel like I need just one more day.” Which is relatable to many.
Others may feel that the time they have off is perfect for all that they have planned. But it’s safe to say many think that having more time off is better than less.
Even though a lot of students and staff members spend their time off doing activities of their choice some staff members do spend their time working. Staff member Mrs. Thompson says “Usually I work on all the things that will make everybody have a good transition back.” As students come into the new year being prepared for the next months of school is very crucial.
Holiday breaks can offer a chance to recharge, explore and connect. With the time students have off, they can prepare themselves to be focused and enthusiastic for the new term.
