It is always fun to hear students say, "That was fun!", as they are practicing the key concepts in a class.  This happened just the other day in class as Ms. Kim created a task that required a lot of cardboard cutouts, markers, a big sheet of paper and a bunch of friends. 

Students had the chance to practice their new found skills in calculating area in a hands on way.  They did a great job using the formulas they have learned to find the answer they were looking for.  With the math test just around the corner, this activity gave them the chance to practice everything they have learned.  Here are some pictures from the class.

Two months of preparation = a lot of fun at MUN.  Students came to school today in the finest formal wear and did a fantastic job participating in MUN.  The whole event was excellent.  Students were well prepared, debated well, followed procedures (most of the time) and did a great job as they learned just what MUN actually is.  A HUGE congratulations goes out to all Grade 7's and 8's. 

You have accomplished many great things today.  It is my hope that this is a memory that lasts forever in your memory, and, that this experience encourages you to participate in future MUN conferences!

Here are some quotes from the day:

- "MUN is awesome.  Simply awesome!"
- "Who knew work could be so fun!"
- " I want to win an award...I want to win an award!"
- "I am going to destroy Belgium when I get up there"
- " What?  Are you talking to me."
- "That...was...awesome".
- "Who knew that in there I had a brain all this time".

And it was awesome.  You all did great.  You should be very proud.

The first ever HISMUN Conference is quickly approaching!  Students have been working very hard to get all their ideas together to be ready for the event on March 7th. 

MUN is an important part of the learning process and is a curricular wonderland as it packs in public speaking, debating, procedures, speeches, team work, and problem solving into on activity.

MUN is a compulsory component of the Social Studies Curriculum and as such students must make every effort to participate. 

Parents are invited to attend the conference anytime after 1:30 and
