Thursday EXHIBITION Events
Model U.N.: Thursday, February 24 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m., 12:15 p.m.-2:15 p.m.
John Fisher's class will participate in a model U.N., addressing issues of the Palestinian refugee crisis, and the recent provocations from North Korea. Come see students making speeches, using parliamentary rules, haggling over resolutions, and writing amendments to solve these challenging world problems. It is a great chance to see some critical thinking in action and learn about these global issues.
