National History Day Competition<

On Saturday, March 3, about 450 students from the Kansas City metro area met at Truman Library to present their primary source-centered research projects based on the theme, "Revolution, Reaction, and Reform in History."  Students' projects ranged from documentaries to exhibits and included an extensive annotated bibliography.   St. Teresa's was represented by 30 girls in 12 different projects.  Four of these projects placed in the top 3 of their respective category and will advance to the State competition at MU on April 14.  The winners included: 

"Ain't I A Woman: The Speech that Spurred the Women's Rights Revolution"
1st place Exhibit by Kate Sanders

"From the Sloppy Silents to the Terrific Talkies"
1st place Documentary by Elena Spaulding, Menley Brennan, and Ruby Dibble

   
"The Expansion of McDonald's"
2nd place Group Exhibit by Emma Stanfield and Alice Green


"Title IX"
3rd place Group Exhibit by Jane Evans, Courtney Coppinger, and Kathleen Keaveny
 
      
National History Day,  an academic program focused on historical research for 6th to 12th grade students, challenges students to do in-depth research and present their research in a variety of formats, including performance, paper, website, documentary, or exhibit.  Students who place in the top two at their State competition advance to a national competition at the University of Maryland in June.

Best of luck to our girls competing at State in April!
