It’s hard to believe we are in the last hour of the Fall semester at TEEN DAY! There’s been so much going on, it’s hard to find the time to capture it. Here’s a look back at what we’ve been doing with ourselves.
We have 3 new instructors this year (Danielle Angie, Pan Angelopoulos, and Joel Baird), 4 new courses (Spanish III, Latin II, Precalculus, and Reacting to the Past), and several new participants. In classes, we’ve had cricket experiments, Hemmingway rap battles, literal horror stories, bookplate designs, low-friction racecars, constitutional Jeopardy, algorithmic programming, and – maybe most surprisingly – the loss of the Patriots to the Loyalists in a little reconstructed history.
Outside the classroom, we’ve orchestrated 5 fundraisers to cover the cost of new supplies and provide scholarships to those in our community that need them as well as 1 specifically to help Model United Nations team members cover travel expenses. We’ve hosted a stone soup lunch, participated in Secret Santa, and more!
TEEN DAY Model United Nations team has participated in 3 conferences so far this year with another coming up the week before classes resume! (A more detailed MUN post is up-and-coming.)
We’re only halfway through the year, with much more to come. Wishing all our TEEN DAY participants, families, instructors, and directors a restful winter break and a happy New Year.
