NAIMUN a Success

MLWGS Model U.N. students brought home three awards from the North American Invitational Model United Nations (NAIMUN) Conference this past weekend at Georgetown University. Roughly 20 students from all grade levels missed school on Friday, February 13 to attend the conference.

Three best delegate gavels were awarded to MLWGS students Megan O’Donnell ('09), Madison Bush ('10), and Logan Ferrell ('11).

"I was [representing] Mexico," said Kevin McClain ('12), "as part of the World Health Organization." McClain and other students on the WHO committee discussed topics such as the avian flu and increased disease threat as a result of climate change.

The Model United Nations club will be hosting the upcoming GSMUN conference at MLWGS on March 27-28.
