The Howard University Calendar is only for events organized, hosted, sponsored or co-sponsored by HU schools and colleges, departments, centers, and officially sanctioned student organizations. ![]() Hopefully, all North Atlanta students enjoy their fall break, even if it’s not as long as we previously anticipated.You can find university events, add them to your personal calendar or share on Facebook and Twitter, as well as submit events to be listed (after being submitted, a calendar admin will review your event before publishing). Regardless if APS intended to make the Fall Break so short or not, students deserve to have a longer, refreshing break, especially after the chaos that occurred last year. Whether you’re relaxing by the beach this fall break or enjoying yourself in the mountains, there’s no doubt that you would enjoy a longer break. “I wish we could have more time for Fall Break because I would really like to have a longer and more fun break.” “It’s very annoying that they chose this week to be the one we get off,” said Evans. Junior Camille Evans was especially angry over this. It feels like APS purposely chose this to be the weekend we get off so that we didn’t get as many breaks as we usually do. Monday is Indigenous Peoples’ Day, which everyone is already required to be off on. Saturday and Sunday are weekend dates, and we are already off for those days anyways. “We started school really early this year, so I think we have enough time to have a full week off,” Feagin said.Ī glaring issue that also pops up concerning this break is that the only real “break” we get is Thursday and Friday. Freshman Brian Feagin doesn’t understand why APS can’t give students the full week off. This “break” is scarcely even a break for most, especially those looking to keep up in school. Not only that, a lot of students play sports or do activities outside of school on the weekends, meaning that people would only have about two days to relax before heading back into the daily grind. This means that most students looking to travel will have to finish all of their work early or procrastinate until the very last minute to do it. Most teachers assign some amount of homework over the break to keep their students caught up. One of the main reasons why the Fall Break this year is terrible is that it barely gives a break to students. This means APS students used to get five school days plus two weekends off and more time to enjoy themselves tanning by the beach or chilling at home. This may seem like a lot of time off, however, in past years, schools have been given a whole week off. APS’ new schedule only gives five days off: Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Most of them, however, are in for a rude awakening. Almost every North Atlanta student is just waiting for Wednesday afternoon for Fall Break to begin to take them away from the stress and pressure of school. The clock on classroom walls slowly count down as periods pass by. Fall Break Fell Short: For many NAHS students, including junior Se’lah Robison, disappointment arose when this year, Fall Break was announced and it was much shorter than in years past. ![]()
