Middle school students collect four awards at Model UN event

The Ransom Everglades Middle School Model United Nations Club sent 22 delegates to participate in the Miami Model UN Conference on March 7-8 and returned with four of the eight awards presented in the middle school division. Sam Page ’30 and Sophie Griffin ’30 each received the Ambassador Award, the top honor in their respective committees, and Marlo Sohn ’30 earned the Strongest Position Paper Award while London Ross ’32 achieved Most Improved Delegate. Under the mentorship of RE faculty member Marie Saint Hilaire, club members participated in debates alongside more than 100 students from other schools during the event at Palmer Trinity School.
RE's delegates spent the weekend drafting resolutions and engaging in formal debate on global issues. The students prepared for the conference through research sessions and meetings held before school hours.
 
"It’s inspiring to see how our students have ... embraced the values of diplomacy, empathy, collaboration, peace keeping, and teamwork," Saint Hilaire said in an email. "It’s truly a privilege to see their hard work pay off in such a meaningful way. I am so proud of our students and I am so grateful and honored to have played a small part in their success as I look forward to seeing how successful they will continue to become. I also look forward to continuing to support them in their growth and achievements within the Model UN community, as well as in the classroom!"
