No Gridlock Here: Packer hosts model Congress
BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — For the 23rd consecutive year, Packer Collegiate Institute in Brooklyn Heights hosted the Middle School Model Congress assembly on May 19.
Roughly 350 middle school students from 15 independent schools, including Packer, send delegations of model legislators to the event.
Middle School Model Congress provides students with the opportunity to write, discuss and debate bills, just like members of the U.S. Congress.
