Bells Mill ES students joined Cabin John MS and Herbert Hoover MS to attend the GCDC Spring Model UN Conference at the U.S. Department of State. This conference hosted over 500 students from around the DMV.
Students were greeted by a pre-recorded video message from the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and were addressed by the Deputy Secretary of State, Christopher Landau. Although Bells Mill students didn’t earn awards at this conference, they performed remarkably well while debating issues involving refugee migration and displacement, child survival and development, as well as new technologies to combat pollution. You can view their conference experience in this 3-minute YouTube Video.
Congratulaions to Nicolas Detwiler (BMES, Grade 5), who received an Honorable Mention for representing Pong Krell in the Star Wars: Galactic Senate Committee at the Cabin John Model UN conference on May 3.
