Dear Parent/Guardians of Confronting Injustice Students:

Your son/daughter has agreed to participate in the John Peters Humphrey Model United Nations Parliament held in Fredericton at St. Thomas University over the weekend of May 11-13. See http://w3.stu.ca/stu/sites/jphmun/contact.html for details on this very exciting opportunity.

He/she will not be missing any school as registration will be between 5-7 PM on Friday. I may be able to take five students down but we do need help in getting others there and back. I am hoping to stay over as a supervisor for both nights. If I cannot stay over on Saturday evening, I will ensure that another WHS staff member can fill in.
 * What is JPHMUN?** From May 11th to May 13th, 2007, St. Thomas University will be hosting their 8th annual John Peters Humphrey Model United Nations. JPHMUN, for short, is a simulation that attracts participation from 200 grade 11 and 12 from approximately 40 schools across Atlantic Canada. Typically, participates come from the Maritimes (Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island) but we are anticipating participation from the United States, China and Europe as well.
 * Our goal is to create a Model United Nations simulation that will open and excite the minds of the students participating.** This opportunity allows students to get to know other students from across the Maritimes and world while challenging their abilities to act as a Country Ambassador

There is no expense associated with this event other than Friday evening’s meal. As well, there is a Saturday morning outing to the Fredericton market so if students need money for that, they must provide their own.

While on school-sponsored events such as this, all students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with their roles as ambassadors of their home, school and community. I am not worried about this group but I must inform all students and families that any behaviors that are in violation of school behavioral expectations as explained in the handbook and by common sense, can and will be dealt with in a disciplinary manner by the WHS administration.

Please contact me if you can help get students to and fro or if you have any questions. I am asking for expense money from an enrichment fund to cover gas expenses of drivers for this event.

Sincerely,

Richard Blaquiere 506-325-4437 (School) 506-328-4868 (Home 5-8 PM) Richard.Blaquiere@NBEd.NB.ca
