CES students earn JUNA awards

The sixth-grade PAGE students at Crestline Elementary School did an outstanding job in the Junior United Nations Assembly of Alabama with three teams representing Germany, Croatia and Vietnam. Vietnam’s resolution was written to address the health care issues in that country, while Germany’s and Croatia’s resolutions addressed the migrant crisis. All three teams passed initial committees, and Vietnam passed General Assembly. 

Woody Fipps, from the Croatia team, won Honorable Mention for Best Boy Delegate. The teams representing Croatia and Vietnam won top awards for Best Displays. The amount of hard work and innovation it took in writing the resolutions, designing their own costumes, and pulling it all together paid off. We are so proud of all of you:

Germany – Dive Rowe (Lead Defender), Patch Lyman (Co-Defender and National Security), Caroline Hellums (Master Strategist), Elise Andrews (Creative Director), Ann Winston Morano (Native Speaker).

Vietnam – Caroline Bates (Lead Defender), Ben Tierney (Co-Defender and Native Speaker), Isabel Smith (Master Strategist), Henderson Bare (National Security), Kate Ryan (National Security), Ann Derby Welden (Creative Director).

Croatia – Alden Johnson (Lead Defender,) Esme Huh (Co-Defender), Tompkins Richardson (Master Strategist), Woody Fipps (National Security), Nelle Bashinsky (Creative Director), Lillie Wright (Native Speaker).

Congratulations!
