MYP Morning Meeting
Morning meetings are a great way to start each week. Sharing what we're learning and encouraging each other to live the Learner Profile by sharing ACTION we're taking to make the world a better place.
Each week, we celebrate those who are demonstrating the IB attributes and attitudes. We also celebrate birthdays, sports, the arts, and highlight community partnerships.

Model UN
Model United Nations, also known as Model UN or MUN, is an extra-curricular activity in which students typically roleplay delegates to the United Nations and simulate UN committees. This activity takes place at MUN conferences. At the end of most conferences, outstanding delegates in each committee are recognized and given an award certificate; the Best Delegate in each committee, however, receives a gavel. Thousands of middle school, high school, and college students across the country and around the world participate in Model United Nations, which involves substantial researching, public speaking, debating, and writing skills, as well as critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership abilities.
