The Brecksville-Broadview Heights Middle School Model United Nations Team recently experienced great success at the statewide competition, winning one of the Best Resolutions and several individual accolades. The team, comprised of fourteen 7th and 8th grade students and which represented Australia, North Korea, and Yemen, concentrated their efforts on addressing worldwide issues such as forest fire destruction, education reform, and helping those less fortunate. Thoughtfully developing solutions to these global problems, the resolution entitled Too Hot to Handle, from the Australia delegation including 8th graders Shreyas Mahalaha, Oliver Bellone, Morgan Harrison, Sophia Riley, Gwyn Popielski, and Chris Morcos won a Best Resolution Award. Individual honors were earned by Shreyas Mahalaha and Sophia Riley, who won Outstanding Leader and Outstanding Delegate, respectively. According to group advisor Eric Lapsansky, “all three of the teams represented BBHMS with class and dignity in this outstanding global educational experience.” Congratulations to this team on their culminating effort at the statewide competition and also to Mr. Lapsansky for his mentorship. The BBHMS Model UN Team completes this season with success and looks forward to a new effort with new teams next year.
