On Saturday, March 3rd, Chocksett students competed in the district-wide Middle School Model UN Conference held at Wachusett Regional High School. Students came together to discuss and debate the global problem of human slavery. Students were assigned a country and then asked to represent the positions and solutions of that country to the rest of the Conference. Students then worked together to provide common solutions that would elicit broad appeal. Chocksett students claimed four awards for their efforts in speaking and leadership. Danielle J. and Mike O’C. won Distinguished Delegate Awards while Katie C. and Mike K. took home Honorable Mentions. Congratulations to the entire Chocksett team and their adviser, Mr. DeMarco, on a great performance!
While preparing for the Model UN competition, the Chocksett Social Studies/UN Club sponsored a drive called “Cookies for Troops”. The goal was to bring our brave men and women soldiers of the 1-182 Infantry in Afghanistan some cheer by sending them donated boxes of Girl Scout Cookies. Working with the very generous Sterling Girl Scout Troop 30501, we will donating over 320 boxes of cookies! Thank you to all those associated with Chocksett Middle School and the town of Sterling for helping make this year’s support of our troops a successful one!
