First and second grade students have been exploring how to be a responsible citizen. They studied the various symbols that represent America and created a museum in their hallway using those symbols. Students teamed up and painted a portrait of a symbol of their choice. After that first grade students labeled each picture and second grade students wrote about the importance of the symbol.

It Is A Work In Progress!!!

East End author Marijane Meaker stopped by the hive once again this October to discuss her beloved young adult novel Gentlehands, a mystery and adolescent romance set in the Hamptons in the 1970s. Mr. House's ninth graders who had just completed the book learned first-hand about the author's inspiration, research and craft. Ms. Meaker spent over an hour with students, answering their questions and talking in detail about her lifelong career as a writer of 60 books. For more information about the author, also known as M.E. Kerr, visit https://www.teenreads.com/authors/m-e-kerr and https://www.fantasticfiction.com/k/m-e-kerr/.

World Food Prize Hosts Record Number of Young Leaders at 2018 Global Youth Institute

Des Moines, Iowa, October 24, 2018-

High school students from 27 U.S. states and territories and ten countries were selected to attend the 25th Annual Global Youth Institute October 17-20th in Des Moines, Iowa. James Fairchild from Bridgehampton UFSD in Bridgehampton was among the 210 students selected to attend the prestigious three-day conference. Fairchild engaged with global leaders in science, policy, and industry to discuss the world’s most pressing challenges in hunger and poverty.

In order to participate in the program, students research and write a paper on a topic affecting food security within a specified country and provide recommendations on how to better the lives of a typical family in the country. Once accepted, students are invited to attend the three-day event and engage in hands-on sessions and service-learning projects that allow them to reflect on their unique role in addressing challenges related to agriculture, policy, science, industry, and hunger relief efforts both in the U.S. and abroad.

The Global Youth Institute is held in conjunction with the World Food Prize Borlaug Dialogue International Symposium, which annually gathers the world's foremost leaders in global food security. Students present and discuss their innovative ideas to combat hunger with World Food Prize Laureates, international experts and peers from over 60 countries. Students also attend symposium sessions centered on current research, trends, and innovations in combating hunger and poverty. Featured speakers included:

· 2018 World Food Prize Laureates, Dr. Lawrence Haddad and Dr. David Nabarro

· The Honorable Mercedez Araoz, Vice President of Peru

· His Excellency Olusegun Obasanjo, former President of Nigeria

· Dr. Louise Fresco, President of the Executive Board, Wageningen University & Research Center

At the Global Youth Institute, Fairchild interacted with young leaders from ten other countries including Brazil, Canada, China, Dominican Republic, Ghana, Honduras, Kosovo, Mexico, the Netherlands and the Philippines.

Created by Dr. Borlaug and Iowa businessman and philanthropist John Ruan in 1994, the Global Youth Institute was developed to challenge and inspire participating student and teachers to identify innovative strategies to alleviate hunger and to expose the students to opportunities and careers in food, agriculture and natural resource disciplines. Of the students who complete the program, about 92% go on to pursue college degrees in agriculture and science and 77% choose careers in agriculture, STEM and other fields critical to the fight against hunger. The Institute also boasts an impressive, two-thirds participation by young women. Dr. Borlaug often stated, “I am certain that these students will become the future agricultural, scientific and humanitarian leaders in the fight to end hunger”.

High school educators and students interested in participating in the 2018 Global Youth Institute can visit www.worldfoodprize.org/youth to find their state or country for specific details.
