On behalf of the students and Social Studies staff of Stevensville High School, I would like to extend our appreciation to community volunteers from the American Legion and local churches who were kind to serve as judges for our National History Day student project showcase. A huge shout-out of appreciation to Vicki Vernon who helped coordinate more than 20 volunteers who kindly donated 2 hours on Thursday, January 15th to speak with students about their historical research. A special thanks also to Kay and Skip Gibbons and Chief John Boe for speaking with our students! From this showcase, the judges helped to identify the best 26 projects and now 39 Stevensville Middle School and High School students will be traveling to Helena on Saturday, February 14th for the Montana Regional NHD Competition. They will be chaperoned by teachers Bret Reneau and Derek Buerkle who have both been highly effective coaches for our student projects. Students who place here will advance to the State NHD Championship in Bozeman in April. We are blessed to enjoy such amazing support from our community for our student researchers – thank you!
