Spring 2013 Updates!

Wow, the year has flown by! Unfortunately, instead of flowers and green grass we find ourselves greeted by snow and clouds. But no worries, there is a reason to smile again. The History Club has been busy with loads of activities! Here are some updates and information on upcoming events.


1. HISTORY DAY

This is the third year, Moose Lake students have participated in the Minnesota History Day Competition. Four students took part in the regional History Day event at UMD on Saturday, March 16. This year's theme was "A Turning Point in History". All students did an incredible job! Maddy Gamst, a seventh grade student,  created an exhibit titled,  "Dorothy Molter: Root Beer Lady and the BWCWA." Nicole Tekippe, a ninth grade student, created a documentary on "Sister Elizabeth Kenny: A Miracle for Polio." Finally, Ellie Riihiluoma and Lauren Ross featured a local story, and created a documentary called, "No Smoking or No Service: Establishing Non-Smoking Restaurants in Minnesota."Nicole, Ellie and Lauren are advancing to the state competition on Saturday, May 4th at the University of MN-Twin Cities. If you see any of the girls, be sure to congratulate all of their hard work!!!
