Seven BRVGS students from several different member schools took part in the Trinity Episcopal School Model United Nations Conference (TESMUNC) over the weekend of February 22nd. Student delegates had to prepare for the conference by writing country profiles and position papers prior to the conference, and then represented different countries or organizations on committees dealing with a range of issues, including international cybersecurity, women's rights and the division of post-war Syria.
Participants enjoyed the opportunity to work with other delegates from a number of Virginia private and public schools on these important issues. BRVGS plans to continue to participate in Model UN in the future and hopes to eventually be able to sponsor our own MUN conference.

As community service for her BRVGS senior project, Savannah Slater of Goochland High School is organizing The Laura Grace Snow Memorial Music Festival. The Festival will take place on March 2nd from 6-9 pm in the Goochland High School Auditorium.There will be multiple musical acts ranging from individual students to organized school groups and even one or two professional artists.
There will also be concessions in the cafeteria during intermission and we will be selling t-shirts and wristbands. All of the proceeds will be going into a scholarship fund in memory of Laura Grace Snow. Laura Grace Snow was a member of the current GHS senior class until last year when she lost a long, hard battle to Juvenile Batten Disease. She was a shining, positive light in the GHS class of 2019, and the goal of this festival and scholarship is to keep her spirit alive. Please refer any questions about the festival to admin@brvgs.k12.va.us.
