Students Attend Princeton Model U.N. Conference Twenty-two MFS Upper School Students participated in the 2009 Princeton University Model United Nations Conference on November 20-21. Sophomore Doug Adair was named "Best Delegate" on the Palestinian Council. MFS Model U.N. President senior Robert Rinaldi was awoken at 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning (11/21) and rushed to a United Nations Security Council crisis meeting as reports filtered out of the Congo that the president was kidnapped. Robert was in a closed door session with other government officials until 4 a.m., strategizing what the proper response should be. All in all, MFS students represented four nations: Malaysia, Montenegro, Palestine, and Uzbekistan. --Joel Hager, MS/US Social Studies Teacher and Model U.N. Advisor MFS Robotics Teams Fare Well in New York
The MFS Hawks (Michael Brady, Meagan Connelly, Karan Hiremath, Josh Pinho, Andrew Rosenbach, Danny Salowe, Sam Stratter and Alex Timber) won the Think Award. This award is given to the team that best reflects the “journey” the team took as they experienced the engineering design process during the build season. The Engineering Notebook is the key reference for judges to help identify the most deserving team. The MFS Foxes (Ryan Brancato, Matthew Eckart, Gabe Hege, Trevor Heins, Dan Obaisi and Josh Sackstein) won the Judges Award. 2008-09 Boys Soccer Team Wins National Academic Award Starting on January 7, the Camp Fair Committee will meet weekly leading up to the event.

MFS now has a significant presence on the Philadelphia Boys Choir and Chorale. As of this school year, five MFS boys are currently members of the choir. They all spent two years in the choir's cadet program, which prepares them for entrance to the full choir. In order to earn their "red blazer" and become a full member of the choir, the boys had to learn and successfully audition 12 choir repertoire songs. Visit the Philadelphia Boys Choir performance schedule. Kindergarten Thanksgiving Celebration - Miscellaneous Playground Photos - Dec. 4, 2009 >> To unsubscribe to Moorestown

There was very generous support of the Thanksgiving Dinner Collection for New Visions Center in Camden. With your participation your children collected a record 169 complete dinners plus $1,346.88 for turkeys! Upper School students loaded the dinners, packed in reusable grocery bags, into the vehicles of Lower School parents Meredith Hanamirian and Tim and Nicole Fox, who graciously made the delivery on November 19. While New Visions has seen its funds dwindle and their client lists grow even larger this year, the staff there is rich in spirit and hope as they help their community. The new director was overwhelmed by the amount of food that is so sorely needed.
