We are excited to announce the results of the Voice4Change vote that was held on Monday, March 28. Each proposal represented the amazing and innovative ideas of South Windsor High School students. Ultimately, SWHS students got to use their voice to choose the proposal that would receive the $20,000 in funding from the state of CT.
The proposal that received the most votes from our students and will be funded is the Renovation of Outdoor Hangout/Lunch Space proposal!
Congratulations to Madison Oberly, Barbara Huarcaya, Liliana Ross, Jessica Lanteri, Xander Lecours & Nikki Chung for their work on this proposal.
This funding will be used for providing updated furniture and renovation of outdoor space outside of the cafeteria so students can have a comfortable space to spend time outdoors and enjoy lunch, which will benefit our entire school community.
