Update from Student Council – Student Voice and Student Choice Committee

Student Council – Voice and Choice Committee

Over the course of the past semester, our committee has been working on the issue of lunch pricing and food quality. After conducting survey on school lunch with the MS/US student body, we shared the results of the survey (and all of your valuable feedback) with Chartwells.

We collected 97 responses in total. In general, people were satisfied with the quality, quantity, and the variety of food. We also discussed areas with negative feedback with Chartwells, particularly on high pricing of lunch.

Moving forward:

  • The entire weekly lunch menus will be in the daily bulletin
  • MS/US students may ask for more/less food if they would like
  • We will continue to conduct surveys and further discussions regarding lunch menus in the next semester

We welcome any further suggestions for improvement to school lunch. Please feel free to contact any member of Student Council or our supervisors Ms. Chen and Ms. Beck.

Story Time From Space

Now imagine Astronauts on the Space Station reading stories to and conducting science experiments for the children of Earth as the world rotates below.

Calling for “Mystery Readers”

Do you love the adoration of fans? Revel in applause? Do giggles make you grin? Then you should be a “Mystery Reader!”

Mystery Readers will read a picture book (of your choice, or I can have a bunch to choose from) to a primary class during Book Week (March 22-26). You will give me 3-4 clues so the class can try to guess who is coming to read to them. They won’t know for sure until you walk in the door!

Please email me if you are interested in being a Mystery Reader. Let me know if you have a particular class or grade(s) you prefer, and also what days and times you would be available.
