Sage Attends Greater Boston's Middle School Model UN Conference

On Saturday, November 22, twenty-eight Sage students in The Sage School Model UN Club attended the United Nations Association of Greater Boston’s Middle School Model UN conference at Northeastern University.  Over 400 students from around Boston also participated.  These conferences empower students to develop valuable skills such as global awareness, research, debate, negotiation, and public speaking.  Representing Syria, the Russian Federation, and South Africa, Sage students debated such topics as gender equity, child refugees, water and sanitation, and other issues.  All participants stretched themselves to speak, problem-solve, negotiate, and debate, and each grew in self-confidence and global awareness.

Several students were recognized for their skills in public speaking, writing, and negotiating.  These students are:

Alyssa R. and Kasia P. – Best Public Speaking, United Nations Environmental Program Committee
Evie C.and CJ F. – Best Negotiator, General Assembly
Olivia M. and Olga K. – Best Negotiator, UNICEF
Henry M. and Quinn T. – Best Negotiator, United Nations Environmental Program Committee

Congratulations to all participants and award winners!
