Remember, FreshMUN is designed to be a learning experience and practice run before LIMUN in January. Everyone is learning together, and committee chairs and secretaries will guide freshmen delegates through every step of the process!
As the season changes, we’re looking forward to crisp weather, cozy sweater days, and colorful leaves falling from trees as we continue learning and growing across the district.
What's your favorite thing about fall?
💡Heavy backpacks can cause real back and shoulder strain. Keep these quick safety tips in mind:
⚖️ Keep loaded bags under 10–15% of your child's body weight.
🎒 Wear both straps to distribute weight evenly and avoid strain.
🚸 Choose bright colors or reflective strips for traffic safety.
Help your students lighten the load today! 💙✨
