Impact of Local Farming on Us and Climate Change
On Saturday, January 23, Civitas' guest presenter will be Melissa Vatterott of the Missouri Coalition for the Environment. She is an attorney who specializes in federal and state regulations designed to protect the environment, farm animals, and human consumers. As we move towards planting season, there is a great deal that we can learn about the connection between modern farming and climate change.

Even though we can’t be with students in person, Civitas is still providing virtual classroom visits to the 900 students in the Middle School Model UN Program. This week we’re at Fort Zumwalt North. After our own holiday break, it’s going to be a busy January with visits already scheduled for Rogers Middle School, Visitation Academy, Christ Prince of Peace, and Rockwood Valley, with more to come.
The first classroom visit introduces students to the real UN, shares a bit of history, discusses what the UN is currently working on, and what student delegates will be doing in their own Model UN. If you’d like to get your classroom visit scheduled, please contact Bobbi Kennedy (314-443-9785, bobbidkennedy@gmail.com)
