The Historical League was delighted to support travel and exhibit shipping costs for NHDAZ students who went to National Competition in College Park at University of Maryland in June.
Heidy Rabago competed in NHDAZ with exhibit "The Shirtwaist Factory Fire: A Turning Point in Workplace Reforms". Along with fellow students Natalie, Brianna, and Jayden, Heidy told a very significant story. Her Thank You letter was appreciated: My name is Heidy Rabago. I participated in the National History Day National Competition this past June, and my project was in the senior group exhibit category. Traveling to Washington D.C and participating in the NHD competition this year was lots of fun and truly one of the highlights of my summer, because through my involvement in this competition not only was I able to further develop my personal skills, but I was also able to learn about all the different ways some of the turning points in history have impacted the world we live in today, which was truly inspiring. Thank you so much!
