Frost PTA News: June 7 - 11, 2021

 

Alas, one final PTA email for this year!!

An amazing summer opportunity for rising 7th, 8th, and 9th graders, from former Frost student, Mina Aydin. Please read Mina’s LETTER of INVITATION to our Frost Families:

My name is Mina Aydin. I graduated from Frost MS in 2019 and am now a rising junior at Thomas Jefferson High School. I began participating in Model United Nations (MUN) when I was at Frost. This year, I had the pleasure of running the MUN club at Frost under the supervision of Mrs. Metzker and Mrs. Gregory. Our Frost students competed in many conferences and won several awards. 

This summer, I am excited to introduce you to a virtual Model UN Camp for rising 7th, 8th, and 9th graders. This camp will be taught by delegates from TJ and Langley High School, all of whom have been in Model UN for 3+ years (including myself). 

 

The camp is a 5-day program from 12-2:30 that gives an overview of Model UN. No previous Model UN experience is necessary. First and foremost, the camp is designed to enhance students' public speaking, leadership, and diplomatic skills. The program also includes specific details into strategies, skills, and tips for becoming a better Model UN delegate. The camp is completely virtual, and lessons will be split between presentations and group activities.

There are two quick and easy steps necessary to register for the camp. 

1) Fill out this form https://form.jotform.com/211543517069152 by June 20. In the form, we will try our best to give everyone their preferred week as we create balanced camp cohorts. Please make sure to indicate in the form if there is a week you cannot attend.

2)  Camp fee is $150. Payments will be accepted either through Venmo (@nedimozden) or mailing a check to 8114 Touchstone Terrace, McLean VA (all checks should be made payable to Nedim Ozden, who is the director of the camp). Any questions regarding payments and fees should be directed to Nedim Ozden (nedimozden11@gmail.com). 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me (minaaydin19@gmail.com) or Nedim. 

 

We hope to see many Frost students at the camp.

Thank you. 

 

Regards, 

Mina Aydin

 

 

The Frost PTA wishes everyone a safe, restful, and rejuvenating summer after a most unusual year! If you are leaving the Frost MS community, we wish you all the best. For those returning, we look forward to seeing you again in August.
