On Thursday, April 4, French classes went on a field trip to the United Nations. The French students had the chance to see the General Assembly room and the Security Council room, highlights of U.N. tours. They also had the opportunity to listen to and question diplomats while practicing their French skills. The trip was for students in French classes level three and up, and it was organized by Natalie Clay, a French teacher, with help from Tony Banbury, the father of one of her French students who works at the U.N.

Ben Goldschlager ’14 is an involved member of the Staples and Westport communities. He’s the president of the Model UN and Artists’ Club, the web news editor for Inklings and is involved in Debate Team, Junior States of America and Young Democrats.

Goldschlager has also spent time volunteering at the library working with the new 3D printers. He gets to train people from the ages of 7 to 60 on how to use them, and he can print things for fun and for practical reasons.

“We have a bookcase at my house that uses these little plastic pins to support the shelves,” Goldschlager said, “but we’d lost two, so I designed and printed two replacement pins and they work.”

After writing his favorite piece, “5 Ways to Seem Like You Get Pop Culture” last year, Goldschlager is excited to come back for a second year of reporting for Inklings.
