Declaration of Student Rights

Preamble: When in the course of Student events, we declare the causes for why we should have the right to eat wherever and whatever we desire during a longer lunch time. There are various nearby locations around the school in where students can purchase food for their own appetite and satisfaction. Besides that, the students will also have the option to return home and prepare their own food.

Declaration of Student Rights: We hold these truths to be self-evident to have the privilege to have a longer and off campus lunch.
