"Jineane Ford-King:
Congrats to Callie and Norah at Bright Beginnings School in Chandler! These ladies shared their party today! The third grade postcard contest encourages Arizona history. These students are having fun learning about Arizona and having pizza and swag!
National History Day students have choices of how to present the theme "Rights and Responsibilities". They can design a website, write a paper, do a documentary, act a performance or create an exhibit. Check out these very interesting and elaborate exhibits that NHDAZ students are taking to College Park, University of Maryland in June for final competitions.
Years ago we learned how expensive it is for students to ship their exhibits. Many could afford to ship them to College Park, Maryland but could not afford to ship them back home to Arizona so . . . they threw them away. How heart-breaking after all that research and work. The Historical League stepped up and now sponsors the transportation of those exhibits with $200 funding.
Thanks to Dr. Kristen Rex for all her efforts with this wonderful program. The Historical League is a strong supporter! Dr. Rex writes, "If you’ve never been to the Clifton Morenci, Arizona area on the eastern side of the state, you must come check out this quaint town!"
