These are pictures from our fourth annual Global Fair, and first UN Summit.  Each student in the fifth through eighth grades researched a country and presented it to community members who served as judges.  The fourth grade did a collective presentation on the United States.  The UN Summit focused on global warming with each ambassador presenting their country’s efforts in combating this serious issue.  The day ended students making a difference: letter writing, replacing light bulbs with high efficiency bulbs, shoveling snow for insulation purposes, and making school signs to remind us all to conserve resources.
