NATIONAL HISTORY DAY  

Each year more than half a million students participate in the National History Day Contest. Students choose a historical topic related to the annual theme, and then conduct independent or small group primary and secondary research. They will look through libraries, archives and museums, conduct oral history interviews, and visit historic sites. After they have analyzed and interpreted their sources, and have drawn a conclusion about the significance of their topic, they will then be able to present their work in one of five ways: as a paper, an exhibit, a performance, a documentary, or a website.  Please visit the National History Day website at https://www.nhd.org/students for information!  If your 6th through 8th grader is interested in this INDEPENDENT research project, please contact Mrs. Valleroy for information! Julia.valleroy@st-paul.pvt.k12.ia.us.
