Model U.N. Meets Onondaga’s Model U.N. Club is meeting despite the closure of schools. The members of Model U.N. randomly choose one of the five countries that are permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, also known as the Permanent Five or Big Five. The countries are the United States, Great Britain, France, Russia and China. Each of those countries has veto power meaning that, all solutions must be unanimously approved. Model U.N. recently discussed the pressing topic of the Coronavirus. The students drafted proposals to help end the global pandemic and restart countries all across the globe. The proposals included ways to get countries up and running again, holding China accountable, safe ways to slowly reopen nations, and eventually borders/travel. For students interested in joining contact Mrs. Delgado. Key Club Starts Instagram Page Onondaga's Key Club recently started their own Instagram page to continue to stay active and involved in the community while out of school. To follow their page go to OCS Key Club and the username: ocskeyclub. OCS Student’s Art Recognized Mrs. Passetti contacted the National Parks Foundation through Twitter asking if they would ever be interested in doing a student art show featuring artwork of the National Parks. She explained the National Park posters created by Onondaga’s Advanced Studio class to them. The art students did not have a chance to display their work so the conversation led to the National Parks Foundation having their first ever social media art show! The National Parks Foundation said, "Thank you, @OnondagaArt students! We are so impressed with your artistic abilities and hope you create national park-inspired art for years to come. Thank you for sharing with us and encouraging your students, Mrs. Passetti!” In the online art show, the National Parks Foundation displayed a variety of National Park artwork from the past 100 years. Sophomore Margret Hass's poster of American Samoa National Park was selected! Congratulations Margret! Onondaga Free Library: Teen Reads– Virtual Book Displays During the Coronavirus Pandemic, the Onondaga County Library System closed all libraries. However, Onondaga Free Library’s Volunteer Group, the Book Wranglers, wanted to keep teens reading regardless of the closure. The group wanted readers be able to stay in touch with the Onondaga Free Library, help them get books, and give them something to look forward too as well as entertain them. The website displays book reviews and a DIY section, movie and TV show review's are still to come. The group would still like to use the website after the pandemic is over, as it is a way to keep the community involved with not only the library but with reading! The website was created by Onondaga student Natalie Price. Visit the website at : https://oflvirtualbookdisplays.weebly.com/
