Reducing food waste, delivering Chick-fil-a and Chipotle to students, and hosting trustees are all in the works for Student Council as it continues to formulate a myriad of projects and proposals.
Rising Fifth-form Representative Caroline Rispoli ’20 met with Mr. Joseph Scanio, Director of the Environmental Immersion Program, about the potential reallocation of leftover Dining Hall food to dorms to prevent food waste. Although some faculty expressed concerns over sanitation and methods of disposal for leftover food in dorms, Rispoli still plans to speak to administrators to determine whether funds could be allocated to providing Dining Hall food in dorms.
The delivery service, spearheaded by Fifth- and Sixth-form Day Student Representative Matt Anastasio ’19, is approaching fruition. Potentially with the help of Third- and Fourth -form Day Student Representative, Ryan Doyle ’21, and rising Fourth-form Representative Ula Lucas ’21, Anastasio will deliver Chick-fil-A and Chipotle to the dorms on Wednesday nights twice a month, at 8:30 PM. Students will be able to place their orders on a first come, first served basis. When the service is launched, around thirty students will be able to order on any given evening, although Anastasio hopes to be able to expand his service in the future. If all goes as planned, the delivery service will kick off following Long Weekend.
While trustees are on campus next week, they will tour with members of the Student Council. Former Vice President Julian Yau ’18, former Sixth-form Representative Katherine Burgstahler ’18, and current Vice President Tommy Wachtell ’19 will attend a meeting with the Board of Trustees. Two of these three representatives participate in Choate’s Arts Concentration Program, as arts is one of the driving topics of this year’s meeting.
