2/27/17 - Williamsburg

We begin today with WOLF PACK PRIDE! The WMS Model UN club competed at the William and Mary Conference this weekend. Participants represented different countries from around the world, and debated some of the biggest problems now facing the global community — including climate change, terrorism, economics and more! The Williamsburg representatives did our school proud, assuming several leadership positions and collaborating on innovative solutions. Way to go, wolves!! [clap]
