SHS Model UN Team Triumphs at Kutztown University

Cross-posted on Learning Curve and Changing Connections

The following video and the accompanying text was produced by Miss Brinson.

The SHS Model UN team was in competition Saturday, January 17, 2009, at Kutztown University.  Overall, there were approx. 300 delegates from about 20 schools in the Lehigh Valley, Berks, Bucks, and Montgomery Counties.  They wrote, discussed, bantered, and diplomatically negotiated over issues like: creating a new constitution for the European Union, wargames in the Soviet Bloc in 1989, a Palestinian-Israeli conflict, universal education, private military groups, and imprisonment of terror detainees.  It was heated at times, clearly competitive, and overall a whole lot of fun!

The Salisbury Delegation took the following awards:

Economic Social Committee:

Honorable Mention:  Alex Weir (Somalia)
Outstanding Delegation:  Garred Greenberg and Matt Mattuiz (Russian Federation)

Legal Committee:

Best Position Paper:  Anthony Marze and Ryan Kloss (Mozambique)
Distinguished Delegation:  Donte’ McCrary-McClain and Victoria Ravenelle (Russian Federation)
Outstanding Delegation:  Brandon Aversano and Jeniffer Singley (Republic of Korea)

European Union:

Best Position Paper:  Robby Holler and Sean Zimmerman (Sweden)
Outstanding Delegation: Robby Holler and Sean Zimmerman (Sweden)

*It is particularly huge that they were able to win two awards within one committee—that is a first!

German Historical Crisis Committee:

Honorable Mention:  Sean McDermott (USSR)

Our delegation of 32 students took the award for Distinguished Delegation for the entire conference!

I am very proud of these kids, but also thankful to you for providing the guidance, mentoring, and leadership that these kids have come to honor and appreciate.  We are commended regularly for our strength in competition and in the character and respectfulness that our kids exhibit at every conference we attend.  I should also tell you that we are also consistently “commended” for our spirit in the competitions because truly, our kids love to have fun and they cheer each other on and today—welll - they sang with the “Um-Pah” band!  What else can I say?

Thanks again for the support, guidance, and leadership that you give our kids! (Classic Brinson--she never takes the credit so leave it to me to tell you she molds the good they do--I know).

have to state out that replica watches have become one of the most fashionable accessories in modern world. They are the favorites for those fashionistas because they can effectively accentuate their beauty and chic style at very low prices.

I need to say thanks to you with regards to your web site. You’ve a large amount of engaging stuff hence the website is worth your time. I’m a student in Ca and I currently have an critical term paper due immediately. I’m really caught up as well as currently have writers block at the moment as I am studying. Just need anybody to guide
me revise the cost-free essay I discovered on the net women sports of today essay. That paper meets my personal prerequisites yet is composed in an awful manner and there are sentence structure problems. Do you reckon I should proceed? I am simply just anxious for help, therefore just about any suggestion would be good.
