GHS student leaders urge support for midterms and school events; administrators note calendar and supports
Summary
Student government officers from Greenwich High School reported on midterm preparation, fundraising and student‑life events. They asked the board to support academic and mental‑health resources during midterms.
Two student government leaders updated the Board of Education on recent student activity at Greenwich High School and urged continued support for academic resources and mental‑health supports during midterm exam week.
What they said: Mihir Shah, the student body vice president, described midterm study supports — therapy dogs, expanded teacher office hours and library study events — and outlined class fundraising and spirit initiatives. "The student body could not be more grateful for these amenities," he said. Senior class president Maeve Carey noted that most seniors have submitted college applications and that the school will hold a district‑wide pajama day to raise funds and awareness for pediatric cancer on February 7. She asked the board to consider continuing and expanding academic and mental‑health supports during midterms.
Board response: The superintendent and board members thanked the students for their presentation and wished them well on midterms. The board acknowledged the role of school and community partners — including the library and staff — in providing study supports.
Ending: The student remarks were part of the public‑hearing portion of the meeting and were accepted as public comment; no action was required.
