Time is flying and History Club members have been quite busy! Here are a few things to note:
1) History Club continues to stay busy with activities at the Depot. Between the musical, sports schedules and church--it has been difficult to arrange a steady time. A few members are currently working on creating a Virtual Tour for the Depot. We are hoping to partake in more activities after winter break.
2) Our next HC meeting is THIS FRIDAY (December 2nd) at 8 am. Students will discuss newsletter details----the theme for the December Newsletter is Winter Holidays and WWII. Look for the Newsletter at the beginning of January!
3) DC Updates: We've received our preliminary itinerary!!!! Unfortunately due to the earthquake earlier this year, we are still unable to go up into the Washington Memorial. Still, our days are full with anything and everything you could ever want to do in DC. We currently have 20 people attending the trip. Exciting! We will be doing a candy fundraiser as well as a Presidents Day Dance and other activities to help raise money for students attending the trip.
4) History Day participants should begin their topic selection and secondary source research. We will be (hopefully!) going on a research field trip within the first two weeks of December at UMD. This is a free research trip (thanks to the MN History Center) and a great opportunity to work with library staff and a larger selection of sources!
5) The first newsletter is FINALLY complete! Have your student bring you a copy!
