A CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION
CONGRATULATING THE RICHLAND NORTHEAST HIGH
SCHOOL MODEL UNITED NATIONS CLUB AND THE
CLUB'S SPONSOR-ADVISER, MS. LYNN WASHINGTON, ON
WINNING A SIXTH STRAIGHT FIRST-PLACE AWARD AT
THE NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL MODEL UN CONFERENCE.
Whereas, the Model United Nations Club at Richland Northeast
High School in Columbia has captured a sixth straight first-place
award for the team delegation's performance at the national high
school Model UN conference in New York City; and
Whereas, the twenty-four-member Richland Northeast delegation
represented the Czech Republic in this year's mock deliberations,
where two thousand four hundred students in one hundred fifty
delegations solved the world's problems during five days of
speeches, caucuses, and debates; and
Whereas, the Model UN emphasizes consensus-building and
critical-thinking skills; the number of hours which the students put
into this worthwhile work is phenomenal; the students engage in
this activity on a strictly voluntary basis, and each student's place
on the team which he or she wins is based on his or her particular
talent and expertise; and
Whereas, Ms. Lynn Washington, the sponsor-adviser for the
Richland Northeast High School Model United Nations Club is a
truly remarkable and extraordinary individual; her hard work and
dedication often are underappreciated; she is extremely intelligent
and talented; she gives the students a zest for lifetime learning, for
objectivity, and for fact-gathering; she leads them to become
citizens of this State and Nation in heart and soul; she herself
possesses a truly international spirit and outlook; she never seeks
praise or recognition but deserves it in abundance; she never loses
her great enthusiasm for her work, and she always motivates her
students to learn; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly are very proud of
the outstanding accomplishments of these fine students and Ms.
Lynn Washington and are pleased to have the opportunity to
recognize them in this special manner. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate
concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this
resolution, congratulates the Richland Northeast High School Model
United Nations Club and the club's adviser, Ms. Lynn Washington,
on winning a sixth straight first-place award at the national high
school Model UN conference.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
the club, in care of the club's sponsor-adviser, Ms. Lynn
Washington, at Richland Northeast High School in Columbia.
