StuCo makes New Year’s resolution to keep the lunchroom clean

NCHS students are accustomed to seeing a mess in the cafeteria during the lunch period. Students from all three lunch cycles leave their lunches and garbage on the table, accumulating a giant pile of trash that makes it almost impossible to eat. Some students claim that it’s hard to even sit at a clean spot without avoiding puddles of juice or half eaten sandwiches. In response to this mess, Student Coalition (StuCo) has begun to look for solutions to the problem, though some believe there’s still a lot of work to be done to improve conditions in the lounge.

To all NCHS students and faculty:

We are very proud to announce that The New Canaan High School Student Coalition (StuCo) just completed the 20th annual Turkey Drive. A total of $1,830.00 was raised in support of the Lower Fairfield County Food Bank.

The mystery of StuCo and voting processes

Amidst thoughts of an impending math final, my teacher casually mentions a “Student Council assembly” next period. I blindly follow a lackluster mob into the auditorium, merely to witness a series of prom-is-going-to-be-great speeches. While most are well delivered and the students are respectable members of their class, the passive crowd refuses to grant them any speck of interest. Later the same day pitiful ballots are passed out like busy-work homework, and my classmates vote with wary eyes plastered to their neighbors’ desk, thus completing an annual round of high school democracy.

Ramstock returns with a rocking lineup

On May 18, students took a break from their homework and gathered in the gym from 7:00- 9:00 p.m. to support the Student Coalition’s (StuCo) annual Ramstock. The winners will be announced tomorrow.

This year’s lineup included current students and staff as well as a New Canaan alumni band, “Love Via Dance Machine”, who are recently coming off their tour with Drake Bell. This band features NCHS alumni Alex Badanes, along with bandmates Jimmy Coberly, Izaiah Yelle and Wiley Esten.
