Issues to Address: A Call For Action!

Freshman have been constructing newsletter about national and school-wide issues. The research for these articles come from looking at our school from students' perspectives. All students at Constitution High School engaged in a town hall meeting on Constitution Day, September 17. Freshman used the feedback on the town hall walls to build interview questions as well as inform their writing. Newsletter publicists will be posting some of their articles on this thread. Let the conversation continue.

Lunch Bill

Our lunchroom is getting crowded and are food as of right now is not getting better. Who deserves to leave the building for lunch? Is it even feasible to grab something to eat and make it back to school on time? Starting just this past week the House of Students began to informally discuss two bills on the subject written by Todd Latimore and Dr. Davidson. As the sophomores and juniors battle out this privilege, the freshman, who are disenfranchised at the moment, loom in the shadows of this debate. Questions that are framing the debate are what are the requirements necessary to leave school, who gets to go, how will others earn the right to go out if at all, what are the consequences for not getting back on time. What do you think?
