During Education Week, students traveled back to the future where they examined the legacies of Rome and how they effect their lives today. Students in Mrs. Nangle’s 7th grade SS classes built roads using Roman gromas (an ancient surveying instrument) and compared the process to how roads today also are layered and measured. They completed columns for Roman emperors by adding inscriptions and symbols noting the emperor’s accomplishments and graffiti which criticized their programs or leadership. They also learned about law, Latin, engineering, and many other Roman accomplishments that became legacy are still in use today.

Council Rock South’s Model U.N. Delegation recently participated in their annual conference under the leadership of Youth Secretariat Gabby Tsypis (junior), Elana Rhoge (junior) and officers Ella Sherman (junior) and Diana Newbauer (junior); and advisor Kristin Boekamp. Additionally, Kyla Briscoe (sophomore) was recognized as Outstanding 1st-Year Delegate for Press and Eric Jaffee was elected officer in General Assembly for the 2024 conference. This highly selective position makes him responsible for maintaining order and ensuring the smooth procedural operation of his committee at next year's conference.

Altogether 19 CR South students spent the weekend in Hershey, PA with 850 students from the greater Philadelphia area. The Model UN program is a simulation of the United Nations that requires students to research a preassigned country and represent that country’s interests through debate and problem-solving. Participating students gain a global perspective while sharpening their problem-solving and public-speaking skills.
