National History Day Success!

1/24/2025

Our 7th and 8th graders worked hard in quarter 2 to produce a research paper about "Rights and Responsibilities in History." In the beginning of this quarter, students worked to turn their research papers into projects, such as exhibits, documentaries, and websites. This week, students presented their projects to fellow students, teachers, and parents. They've worked so hard and are proud of the work they accomplished this week!
