National History Day Students participate in 2023 Arizona Historymakers Celebration

 "We didn't realize it was such a big event," was one comment from National History Day Students. They were involved in 2023 Arizona Historymakers™ Celebration, coming early to set up their National competition display to share with guests.

National History Day AZ student Andrew Glassmeyer

 Thank you Arizona Historic League for making Arizona NHD possible. My memories from my NHD experience will last forever, especially the friendly people I met along the way and the many life skills I learned. The Day at the Museum was very helpful in providing me with feedback for adjustments to my exhibit for nationals including insights on using different visuals. Thank you for covering the shipping fees of my Sesame Street exhibit and helping us with travel options. NHD is a very powerful learning experience that, if done correctly, can change lives, like what it did for me. Thank you so much for making NHD Arizona possible in a way that impacts students.

Sincerely,

Andrew Glassmeyer
