Members of our grades 3, 4, and 5 Student Leadership Council met with Ben Leahey, Director of Dining Services, to share ideas for Chartwells. Students shared an interest in reducing waste, as well as exploring new foods in the cafeteria. Thank you to Chef Ben for being part of this conversation and thoughtfully considering our leaders' ideas.
