2 Excellent Middle School General Assemblies Last Week
Students at the April 4 Model UN General Assembly last Tuesday
Last week was the kickoff of our Middle School General Assemblies. Over the course of 2 action packed mornings, more than 120 delegates from 6 different schools shared ideas and voted on 11 resolutions! Click here to see photos and resolutions from both sessions.
The next middle school session will be April 21. Before that happens, we are making visits to Maplewood-Richmond Heights, St. Raphael the Archangel, and Lafayette Prep Academy to help students finish up resolutions.
We thank the Saigh Foundation for its continued strong support of our Middle School Model UN program.

Join us to talk about what's on your mind!
Excellent books are being written for young people today, some of which, unfortunately, are not readily available in area high schools. Civitas is planning a book discussion on April 22 from 10 AM until noon at the Oak Bend Library Branch, giving everyone plenty of time to get and read the selected young adult novel by a debut author, We Deserve Monuments written by Jas Hammonds. This is a compelling novel about 17-year old Avery, who is Black and gay, being uprooted from her urban Washington D.C. life and school to rural Georgia for her senior year. If you would like to be a part of the book discussion, please click here to sign up.
We will have time to discuss other topics of interest, too, that morning. IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ THE BOOK, you are still welcome for other conversations that morning!
Civitas can help students get a copy of the book, if needed. Just let us know when you sign up!
To listen to a short NPR interview with the author of We Deserve Monuments, click here.
