More State Winners!!

Sixth grade students participated in Alabama History Day. This competition is designed to encourage students to explore and research historical themes and present their findings in a variety of ways. This year, students researched the diplomacy and debate used in the work of the Lowndes County Freedom Organization. One group presented a historical performance while another group used an exhibit board. Although they were competing against not only other 6th graders but also 7th and 8th graders, both groups placed in their categories! That means both groups are eligible to travel to National History Day at the University of Maryland. Great job, Montez and Xavier ; Santanna, Harold, and Orianna!
