In February, 15 students from The Frederick Gunn School Model United Nations program will travel to Washington, D.C., to participate in the 60th North American Invitational Model United Nations (NAIMUN), the Western Hemisphere’s preeminent high school Model UN conference. Gunn students will be among more than 3,300 participants at the four-day conference, one of the oldest in the country, featuring “40 mini-simulations, ranging from standard committees like the UN General Assembly and the Security Council to crisis simulations of various regional organizations, national cabinets, corporate boards, and political organizations,” NAIMUN said. The conference is staffed by 250 undergraduate students from Georgetown University, and seeks to “inspire, educate, and empower the next generation of leaders in government, business, and international affairs.” 
 

Hearts for Action, a student club at The Frederick Gunn School, is supporting an American Red Cross Blood Drive on Sunday, April 2, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Thomas S. Perakos Arts and Community Center on campus. Qualified students, faculty, parents, and community members are all invited and encouraged to participate in this annual event honoring Margaret P. Addicks for her 45 years of service to the school and the Town of Washington. Walk-ins are welcome but appointments are strongly encouraged. Please use this link to set up an appointment online.

Fifteen students in the Model United Nations co-curricular program will represent two countries, Mali and Croatia, and a city, Quito, Ecuador, at the 2022 North American Invitational Model United Nations in Washington, D.C., in February. One of the oldest UN simulations for high school students in North America and the world, NAIMUN is staffed and managed by over 250 undergraduate students from Georgetown University, “all of whom have a keen interest and substantial understanding of international relations," according to the conference.
 

Last week, students announced the formation of two new clubs, adding to what is already a thriving number and range of student-led groups on campus this year.
