ComMUN Back To In-Person Camp!
ComMUN hosted its fourth annual summer training conference in June. 8 members of this year’s Secretariat were CHS students; of those eight, six were a part of the first ComMUN camp and five were in the group that designed the camp during their Seminar year at Community School. The camp hosted almost twenty delegates this year and the topic was on Decolonization of Africa. The Secretariat runs almost everything at camp– they decide on the topic, research and write the background guide, organize the schedule for the week, teach lessons, and moderate all committee sessions.
Lucy Wins 3 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards
The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards is a juried art competition that takes place once a year nationwide, presented by the Alliance for Young Artists and Writers. Winners are selected on the basis of originality, technical skill, and the emergence of a personal vision or voice.
At the regional level Lucy received a gold key in film and animation for her piece “The Will o Wisp” and a silver key in painting for her piece “The Old Cider Mill”.
Additionally, The Will o Wisp went on to receive a silver key at the national level! There were around 230,000 pieces entered nationally this year, and a little over 1,900 received national recognition.
As a silver medalist, Lucy will be attending this year’s New York City award ceremony virtually.
Congratulations, Lucy!!!
