SHS class hosting dinner fundraiser

SANDPOINT — Students from Sandpoint High School's international relations class are inviting the community to a special meal.

Tickets for the themed international dinner, which includes a silent auction, are $55 and available at bit.ly/3PMqowN.

The event will take place at 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 27, at Marigold Bistro at the Sandpoint Center and will feature music, a silent auction and cuisine in the style of the countries the students are preparing to represent.

All proceeds will go to help the SHS students attend the four-day National High School Model United Nations Conference in Midtown Manhattan just blocks from the U.N. headquarters.

During the event, students step into the role of a U.N. delegate and are tasked with examining real-world issues like international crime and conflicts. Students collaborate, negotiate and debate with other high schoolers representing foreign nations to simulate the activities of the real U.N. General Assembly.
