Students describe Model UN launch and club activity; student representative reports school events
Summary
Students who launched a Model UN–style club described attending a World Affairs Seminar and a statewide conference, said the club has about 28 participants and plans fundraising and recruitment; the Student Board Representative summarized recent fundraisers, events and club activity.
Student presenters described forming a Model UN–style club after attending a World Affairs Seminar and said the club represented Fiji and the United Arab Emirates at a statewide conference attended by more than 1,200 students.
One student said the club expanded students' knowledge of global issues and helped members develop research, debate and teamwork skills. The presenters said about 28 students participated in the club this year, though not all could attend the conference; they plan fundraising and earlier preparation so more students can attend future out-of-state events.
The Student Board Representative reported a string of recent activities: senior-class fundraisers for prom and graduation, a successful blood drive on Nov. 15, college night on Dec. 4, the Model UN conference on Dec. 6, and the Frosty 5K on Dec. 7. The representative also noted athletics activity, club auditions for the spring musical, and student feedback on new gym bleachers and a nurse check-in rule.
School staff and board members praised the student-driven club and encouraged continued recruitment and fundraising. The board had no formal action tied to the presentation; members said they would support club efforts to prepare earlier for conferences and to seek fundraising to offset trip costs.
