Dear Arthur,
We have wrapped up our 8th grade Model U.N. "season"
with another outstanding session and high school
activity concludes this Saturday with our picnic and
awards "non-ceremony." Next week we'll tell you of
summer plans. Congratulations to all 8th grade and
high school students and teachers who have made it
such a wonderful year!
In addition to reading our newsletters, you may also
want to visit our
web site by clicking here. We have a good deal of
current information, and through the year we will be
working on building up our archives from previous
years.

Sixth and Final 8th Grade Model U.N. Big Success |
 |
We want to congratulate students from Holman
Middle School (Pattonville), John Burroughs School
(Ladue), Northwest Valley Middle School (House
Springs), Our Lady of Fatima School (Florissant), and
Ridgewood Middle School (Arnold) for an
outstanding job at last week's (April 30) 8th grade
Model U.N. There was once again very constructive
discussion and debate which took place in a serious
and reflective environment. Because students offered
so many constructive amendments to resolutions, the
group was able to consider only five of the seven on
the agenda. Two resolutions were amended and
passed; two were amended and defeated, and three
were not debated. All the resolutions can be accessed
by clicking on the link below. Then click on Item
12.
You can also access photos from the session from the
same link. Click on Item 12a.

High School Picnic on Saturday, May 10 |
|
We will end our year's activities with a picnic and
softball game in Forest Park for high school students.
Among the events planned for the day is the
announcement of "outstanding delegate awards" along
with $500 scholarships to the ten seniors who have
contributed the most to the program in the past year.
In addition, we will be granting $250 to seven
underclass-persons. (See lead story for more details.)
The activities will be from 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM. We will
first have the picnic at Picnic Area #3 (please see map
link at bottom of this article). Following the picnic we
will have the softball game (again, see map link at
bottom of article). We will have more information
about the events in upcoming newsletters.

New Poll |
|
|
We had a relatively small response to last week's
question of whether news readers (or anchors) lose
respect when they report frivolous stories. Of those
who responded, 60% said, "Yes, they do."
Today's question is:
It is possible that Civitas will sponsor another
conference on a global region next year, similar to this
year's one on Africa. If we do, which of the following
regions would you prefer to be the subject of the
conference.
a) Africa (second time)
b) Asia
c) Europe
d) Latin America
e) Middle East
