OUR TROOPS
The 7th
and 8th grade CSA students participate in an annual county-wide Model
UN
in May. Each student chooses a country to represent as a UN delegate,
presenting a resolution on an important global issue and voting on
resolutions according to the political, cultural, and social policies
of
that country. The all-day event includes a current events quiz
and
awards for best resolution, best ambassador, best debater, best
costume,
and others.
