SHS Goes to Congress
|
Last week five students of Suffield High School participated in the 79th session of Model Congress held at American International College. Suffield High School’s delegation, Tabitha Hinkle and Marc Cox, along with our observer delegates Benjamin Grigoriou, Catherine Murphy and Veronica Partain made an excellent showing for our first year in attendance! Our team, along with students from ten other schools from within New England, developed mock legislation, held mock committees and debated fiercely to pass bills that would be appropriate for the United States today.
