Ongoing Groups

An annual fundraising event in the weeks leading up to a final, sold-out concert in Hubbard. Auditions take place to nominate student performers, and all of the money fundraised goes to a charity or non-profit organization dedicated toward local or global efforts.
UCNE is an organization composed of boarding school Student Councils across New England. We meet annually to collaborate and discuss policies that differ across each respective school. Policies include visitation, sustainability, community engagement, and council operations. Historic meetings have taken place on the Loomis Chaffee campus and online.
Annually, the Student Council hosts a thrift store event, where sustainable, up-cycled clothing is gathered and sold to the student body. Funding goes back to the school to support students and their needs.
Once every term for every season of the school year, we invite a professionally trained sports psychologist to speak about their experiences and teach students about sports mental health.

Reach Groups

Mission: Striving to create an accessible and positive fitness environment for the Loomis Chaffee community.
Goals (short-term): Labeling gym weights — updating gym hours through Daily Bulletin — send (sent) out form to grades for input on better gym equipment — better condition weights

Mission: We strive to show appreciation for the members of staff that go unrecognized in our community. We intend to create a school tradition in which students and members of StuCo can vote to award a member of the staff for their work behind the scenes.
Goals: Propose to council — create lasting annual gift-giving tradition
Our goal as a task group is to foster productive conversation developed by awareness around current events in history classrooms. We plan to create a proposal and share it with the council which we can then bring to the history department. We plan to work with Shultz as well to raise awareness about our mission.
