Launch the media gallery 1 playerOn Monday April 24, several sophomore students traveled to Ames to attend the World Food Prize Event. This event, held at Iowa State University, is in conjunction with the Dr. Norman Borlaug World Food Prize Day. The sophomores attending were Morgan Vorwald, Kelsi Askeland, Erica Voss, Elizabeth Meisner, Emma Ehlers, Josephine Cialfi and Haley Fitzpatrick.
Students were asked to write a research paper about a certain issue in another country. Ed-Co English teacher Victoria Bond then chose papers that she thought correctly addressed the issue and submitted them into the contest. Participating in this event also qualified the students for a scholarship. Bond feels that students benefit from this event by being exposed to individuals who work with these issues and being able to give their thoughts on how to solve these issues as well.
“Students are taught more about the world hunger issues and their awareness of the problems in the world is increased,” said Bond. “This experience is a fabulous event for the students.”
