The Grand Hall at the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park.

The November History Exploration Days event at the MO History Museum, a monthly occurrence with different themes, will be all about Civics & Government this Friday, November 10 and Saturday, November 11 from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm both days. The MO History Museum has asked Civitas to be a community partner this month since we are all about inspiring active citizens, so Civitas will have a booth in the Grand Hall for both days. The booth will be an opportunity for people in our community to learn about what Civitas offers and also for students who stop by to engage in a couple of activities; one will be to identify well-known public figures locally, nationally, and internationally by matching their picture to their name; the other will be to find certain locations on a world map.

We would love to have Civitas students who already know about what Civitas offers to help us at our booth on both days. Some area schools are off on Friday, but if you have school on Nov. 10, Saturday is an opportunity to help us. Volunteering for an hour shift on either day will earn you a Gamechanger point and also be a lot of fun! There will be other activities being offered on both days related to the theme, so plan some extra time to also explore the museum. Everything will be free for all.

If you are interested and available to help, please CLICK HERE to sign up for a shift.

Resolutions for HSMUN Sessions A & B are due a week from today!

Delegates presenting their elevator speech last fall.

The first Model UN sessions for high school students are a week from this Saturday! We have contacted teacher sponsors and student leaders who were on a wait list for Session A and/or Session B about accommodating additional delegates. PLEASE have students sign up as soon as possible for either November 18 session if they have not already done so. If a session reaches capacity, we will close it earlier than the Nov. 16 deadline for signing up.

Click here to reach the signup form (same form for all 3 sessions).

In addition to continuing country research, delegates should be finishing resolutions. This year each session has 12 or more schools participating, so we can only accept two resolutions per school. We encourage students/countries to collaborate with resolution writing. Please email finished resolutions to Stephanie (gavinstephanie89@gmail.com) NO LATER THAN MIDNIGHT on the Tuesday before your session so we have plenty of time to create the master copy and send it to FedEx for printing. The deadline to submit resolutions for the November 18 sessions is a week from today, Tuesday, November 14 by midnight. As we receive resolutions, they will be posted on the Civitas website for delegates to review in advance.
