National History Day is an event where students complete a research project. There are five mediums in which a student can choose to present this research: a paper, website, documentary, exhibit or performance. It is an intense project that includes in-depth research, an annotated bibliography, a process paper and interviews by judges. Last year, Ava and Ryan represented Moose Lake in its first trip to the state competition last spring. This year, six ladies will represent Moose Lake at the state competition on Sunday, April 29th at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. This is a huge honor as there are 30,000 students who participate in regional events and only 1,200 advance to the state competition!
Nicole Tekippe will be advancing to state with her exhibit board, "Red Scare: America's Reaction to Communism in the 1920s." This is her first year competing in the History Day Competition.
Leah Westmoreland and Lauren Ross will be advancing to state with their documentary: "Rebirth: The 1918 Fire of Moose Lake." This is Leah's second year and Lauren's first year participating in the competition. It's the first time a group from Moose Lake has done a documentary!
Our final group advancing to state is Maddie Geil, Maddie Ross and Ellie Riihiluoma for their performance: "Dorthea Dix: Improving the Conditions of the Insane Worldwide." This is Maddie Geil's second and Maddie Ross and Ellie's first year participating in the competition. This is the first group from Moose Lake to do a performance!
