NHDAZ student Owen Yin writes Thank You note

 A feel good Thank YOU note from National History Day AZ student:

My name is Owen Yin. I wanted to thank you for providing the NHDAZ team with shirts, hats, pins, and other goodies.

Thank you for the cash gift, which was much appreciated and was used for our travel expenses. This was an amazing experience being my first time and I can't believe I actually made it as a finalist! It was really cool to see people from all over the world coming together to compete in a subject we are all passionate about. I enjoyed trading pins and collaborating with the NHDAZ team to collect the entirety of the countries and states that competed. I am already looking forward to next year! Thanks again for your support,

Owen Yin

Dear Mrs. Shumard and Historical League,

I sincerely thank you and the Historical League for your kind contributions regarding our trip to DC. NHD is genuinely a rewarding experience, and I am so glad to have met a diverse group of people at the competition. I truly learned a lot from building the project and working with my partner. Again, I am extremely grateful for all your help this year and hope to do NHD again.

Kind regards,

Thanvi Vorganti

Thank you from NHDAZ student Adrian Piel

 Reading these thank you notes makes me so proud that we support National History Day AZ.

To the Historical League,

Thank you so much for your help to get to the National Competition for NHD. It was truly an amazing experience: Not only did I get to travel through Washington, D.C. with my friends but I was also able to experience the competition. All in all, it was a successful experience for not only me but others who got to have fun and even get their projects to finals. Without your help this wouldn’t have been possible, and I truly cannot thank you enough!
