Breaks throughout the School Year
As a school teacher and former student, the times I look forward to the most are our brief break times when we do not have to come into work between semesters in addition to holidays. We have two main short breaks- Fall Break (one full week at the beginning of October) and Spring Break (one full week in the middle of March), followed by two longer breaks between the two semesters: Christmas Break (two to three weeks from the middle of December to the first week of January) and Summer Break (from end of May until beginning of August). These are perfect times for both families, faculty, and students to take vacations and get away from the stress of school for a bit to reset before finishing the year. The most common places people go during this time (especially students) are Seaside, FL, Disney World, roadtrips, or even to London if it is a longer break. For me, my favorite trips during break time were going to Costa Rica as part of a January study abroad term, Spain as part of a summer study abroad, and Cozumel during Christmas Break this past year.
