Middle School Model UN Updates!

There are no General Assemblies for middle schoolers this week, but that doesn't mean we're resting on our laurels! Civitas staff has 4 class visits this week at Rogers Middle, John Burroughs, Whitfield, and Crossroads College Prep. Students and teachers are putting the finishing touches on resolutions and gearing up for their upcoming field trips. Our next in-person General Assemblies will be April 28 & April 29. To see photos and resolutions from all General Assemblies, click here.

If you have a Middle School Model UN question, feel free to contact Bobbi Kennedy at bobbidkennedy@gmail.com.

Interested in St. Louis City & County Politics? Mark your calendar for Saturday, April 30!

Active Civitas participants Vera Rosenblum and Alice Kovarik of Metro Classical Academy; and Sarah Herzog of Crossroads College Preparatory School, are planning an informative and engaging event for area high school students on Saturday, April 30 to promote Active Citizenship. One speaker already on the schedule is St. Louis City Mayor Tishaura Jones. A venue for the event, which will begin at 11:00 am and end by 1:00 pm, is still in the works, but Civitas is encouraging students to sign up now for what's sure to be an exciting experience. Once location and additional details are known, all who are signed up will receive an email.

Questions? Contact Vera Rosenblum, who is leading the plans: verarosenblum@gmail.com.
