An ambassador to the nations

Homewood Middle Elementary School sixth-grader Eliza Angelo successfully completed a People to People Student Ambassador program this summer.

She traveled to eastern Canada with a delegation of 41 students from central and north Alabama in the Canadian Cultures Program.

The People to People Student Ambassador Program was created by President Dwight Eisenhower as a pathway for young people to promote international peace and a unified world.

Eliza has also been selected as a new member of Homewood Middle School’s Junior United Nations Assembly. JUNA is an academic competition that allows students to represent the nation and explore international political and economic issues.
