E-S student projects ‘take a stand’ in history at local NHD competition

Senior Coreen Rindahl provided information about her project topic, Alcatraz Occupation, for a group of onlookers during Monday’s local NHD competition.

Fifth-graders checked out the 3D model of the Island of Iwo Jima created by Shayna Walter and Alyca Wojcik for their NHD project about “Mr. Immortal” Jack Lucas.

Students and community members checked out display boards in Central’s middle school gym during Eleva-Strum’s local National History Day competition on Monday, Feb. 27. The event was rescheduled from Feb. 24 due to inclement weather that closed schools all across the local area.

Senior Mathew Higley asked questions after judging a student group’s website. History teacher Chad Hanson said students whose own NHD projects advanced to the regional and state levels in the past were selected to judge this year’s projects, allowing them to “take on a leadership role” with younger students. History Club officers also participated as judges to help select regional qualifiers.

Tatianna Coffey, Hailee Olson and Emma Johnson displayed their website on Rosa Parks for a curious visitor. This marks the fifth year that Eleva-Strum’s local NHD competition has invited members of the community in to view projects.

Computer-based NHD projects are gaining steam at Eleva-Strum. Local NHD organizers say a record number of students this year chose to create a website or a documentary using technology provided by the district’s 1:1 digital initiative.
