This club aids other service programs and initiatives helping those in need in our town and surrounding communities. The Choate Association for Special Populations is a club that attempts to raise awareness both on campus and in the surrounding communities about the needs and rights of special populations. CASP works with the Connecticut Department of Mental Retardation, and other outside agencies. Students are matched with special needs clients to experience adaptive dance, exercise and activities. Teach Wallingford is a community service program that sends student volunteers to our two neighborhood elementary schools, Moses Y. Beach and Holy Trinity.
Membership is open to fourth, fifth and sixth formers.
Shooting Stars Shooting Stars is community-service based children's theatre company consisting of fourteen dedicated students. Throughout the year the group prepares and performs pieces of theatre for young children confined to hospitals, abuse shelters, foster homes and other such places. The performances vary from children's poetry, to fairy tales, to multicultural folklore. With such a wide spectrum of material the group aims to entertain its audiences. Our mission with Choate Against Hunger is to address the issue of global hunger by participating locally.
