Student researchers advance to state! On Saturday, February 15, the following students and their projects advanced from the regional competition of National History Day in Wisconsin to the state competition in May: Eve C. with her website, "From Booker T to MLK Jr: Activist Responsibilities and Educational Rights," Chloe H. and Ande F. with their documentary, "Women's Military RIghts in WWII: the Government's Responsibility for Them," Gloria H. and Andrew M. with their exhibit, "Ethical Questions: New Rights and Responsibilities of the US after WWII." All the students conducted independent research and then created their projects in Kathy Haig's research class. If they take first or second place in the state competition in May, they will qualify to compete nationally in College Park, Maryland in June! In the picture of the kids in a row, left to right are Gloria H., Eve C., Chloe H., Ande F., and Andrew M. In the picture of the kids staggered on the stairs, top to bottom, it's Gloria, Chloe, Eve, Ande, and Andrew on the right.
