Heba: A place for students to voice their opinionsHeba:

Careliz: If we have gender neutral bathrooms, students will feel safer to express their gender identity

Careliz: The Administration is outdated and does not seem invested in listening to us

Richard: Another problem for our school to address is rampant vandalism and vaping in the bathrooms

Chloe: schools don’t really hear students

April: every week there are 5 fights at school

Justice: my hope is that we introduce more creativity and comfort

Kaitlyn: When I am stressed and cannot focus in class

Theresa: Teachers can make a difference when they listen to students

Sean: We must reevaluate our school system
