Nine Ainsworth Middle School students participated at the district level of the National History Day contest, and all nine will advance to the state competition. This year’s theme was “Turning Points in History.” Isabelle earned first place for her junior individual performance, “Rural Electrification.” The team of Max, Paul, and Keith received first place for their junior group performance, “How the Bombing of Pearl Harbor Changed the World.” Miranda earned second place for her junior individual documentary titled “Woodrow Wilson’s Turning Point: America’s Entry into World War I.”
The junior group exhibit had lots of competition as there were 22 entries. Both of the Ainsworth Middle School entries placed in the top three to earn a spot at the state contest. Beau and Callen received third place for their junior group exhibit, “The Battle of Midway.” Leighton and Buck earned first place for their exhibit titled “The Dust Bowl.”
All these sixth graders have qualified to compete in the state contest on Saturday, April 20th in Lincoln. These students will be sharing their projects in the ACS Cafeteria at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, April 16th. Everyone is welcome!
