Foster students continue winning ways at Model UN
Foster Middle School students walked away with 29 of the 40 awards at Model United
Nations (Session 2) simulation held at Stephen F. Austin State University in
Nacogdoches on January 23rd and 24th. The 6th, 7th and 8th grade students competed
against about 250 other East Texas students.
Model United Nations participants role-play as diplomats representing a nation in a
