Going into my second year I was saddened to see the effect Covid-19 has had on the students and community at St. Thomas.

One of my biggest challenges is the Block Schedule. As a student who suffers from attention issues and learning challenges, it is not as easy as you think it would be to sit in the same spot for an hour and a half for each class with no breaks.

The Block schedule makes many of us feel uncomfortable and unfocused throughout the day. In the past, we have used the Block Schedule and normal eight class schedule throughout the week. A better way we can up the focus here at St. Thomas is to switch back to our normal eight class period with the courtesy of two block schedules during the week.
