Located In Fenced & Lighted AreaHemphill GT students earn awards in first ever virtual Model UN Contest

Hemphill Gifted and Talented Program recently competed in the first ever virtual Model United Nations competition held by Region 7. It is their belief that gifted students deserve the opportunity to experience learning in a variety of challenging ways in order to become productive, life-long learners.

The following students applied for leadership positions and were required to not only fill out an application and write an essay but students were also interviewed by the director of GT at Region 7. Students who earned leadership positions are the actual leaders/directors of another group of Model United Nations students. Hornet leaders were the first ever leaders in the virtual contest. The students not only faced the challenges of being in charge of the contest but new technology requirements.

Leaders were: Audie

Lawson Vickers, Wyatt Heslip, Conor McDaniel, Jeffery Tre Quinn, Carmen Gonzalez, Chalee Gibbs, Macy Wall, and Carleigh Patterson.

A week later, students competed in another Model United Nations contest. Students were given countries in early October to begin their research. Each student was assigned a committee to focus on a world problem. Each student developed a resolution to help solve a world problem that was specific to at least their country. Each student delegation also created a map to illustrate their country, a collage to symbolize a world problem, a technology component over their country, along with various other projects. Students put in countless hours to be prepared to debate their resolutions among other middle school students across Region 7 service center.

Australia: Conor

McDaniel, Rylee Paskell, Macy Wall and Wyatt Heslip.

Germany: Denise Gonzales, Carmen Gonzalez, Audie Lawson Vickers, Jeffrey Tre Quinn, Chalee Gibbs, Carleigh Patterson and Seth English.

Israel: Pedro Gonzalez, Justis Fowler, Abby Bright, Christopher Lliteras, Colin Todd and Brailey Wallace

Denise Gonzales' resolution over the need for more renewable resources passed her committee with enough votes to move to the general assembly for all students to debate.

Wyatt Heslip's resolution over the lack of education in the world passed his committee to move to the

general assembly. After a very lengthy heated debate, his resolution passed the general assembly.

Hemphill GT had two students that were recognized as outstanding debaters.

Carmen Gonzalez earned a second place medal for her contributions to solving world problems in the committee of UNODC which focuses on drugs and crime.

Chalee Gibbs earned a second place medal for her contributions in the Security Council to solving current world problems.

We would like to thank Hemphill ISD faculty and staff for their continued support and assistance. Sponsor is Lana L. Procella.

Hey y’all. This week I’m going to share with you some fun facts about one of my favorite animal, cats.

1. Cats have whiskers on the backs of their front legs, as well.

2. Cats have the largest eyes relative to their head size of any mammal.

3. Cats walk like camels and giraffes: They move both of their right feet first, then move both of their left feet. No other animals walk this way.

4. Cats are believed to be the only mammals who don't taste sweetness.

5. Cats can jump up to six times their length. 6. Cats' claws all curve downward, which means that they

can't climb down trees head-first. Instead, they have to back down the trunk.

7. Cats have 230 bones, while humans only have 206. 8. Cats have an extra organ that allows them to taste scents

on the air, which is why your cat stares at you with her mouth open from time to time.

9. Kittens can be spayed or neutered when they are only eight weeks old. If possible, these procedures should be per-formed in the first five months of your cat's life.

10. When your cat sticks his butt in your face, he is doing so as a gesture of friendship.

11. Spaying and neutering can extend a cat's life. The Ban-field Pet Hospital study found that neutered males live an av-erage of 62 percent longer than unneutered cats and spayed females live an average of 39 percent longer than unspayed cats.

12. Your cat's grooming process stimulates blood flow to his skin, regulates his body temperature and helps him relax.

13. Cats mark you as their territory when they rub their faces and bodies against you, as they have scent glands in those areas.

14. If your cat approaches you with a straight, almost vibrat-ing tail, this means that she is extremely happy to see you.

15. Cats often attack your ankles when they're bored.
