National History Day State Level Junior Group Documentary Champions!!!

Hello Everyone!
The four competitors from Discovery
Homeschool Group.
 Sorry about the long title. I just wanted to give a quick update on National History Day. Yesterday, William and I won our category at the statewide level of National History Day. Our category was Junior Group Documentary. We placed first. We also earned a special award from  the NEBRASKAland magazine foundation. The NEBRASKAland Foundation Award in history honors the best entry in the junior and senior divisions that deals with a person, place, event, institution or other development that contributed to the heritage of Nebraska.

William and I would like to thank the NEBRASKAland foundation for their graciousness in giving out his generous award to our project. We would also like to thank all of the volunteers who make National History Day possible. We will now move on to the nationals level in College Park Maryland. That competition will be from June 9th through the 13th. Unfortunately, this means that I can't post our documentary here. However, once competition is over, I will post it. My brother Joel and his partner also won their category and will advance to the nationals level. At the bottom there are some more pictures. Thanks for reading!

William and I.
