Students attend Model UN Program
A dozen students from New Prague High School recently attended and participated in the YMCA Model United Nations Program. It was the fifth straight year New Prague has sent students to the program. The students represented the countries of France, Georgia and Sweden. Along with members on the General Assembly and individual committees, New Prague was also represented on the Security Council (Danielle Gravon), International Court of Justice (Drew Smisek) and the Economic and Social Council (Matthew Weldon). Some of the issues the students had to deal with were the crisis in Sudan, budgeting, the Wall in Israel, insect plagues and rebuilding Afghanistan. Matthew Eldred, who was a member of the General Assembly, was elected as President of the General Assembly for next year's session. Jen Sayler and Greg Sayler, high school teachers, are the advisors for the Model UN group.
