On Tuesday March 7, students at Big Lake Middle School participated in the school-level History Day competition. History Day is a national program that encourages students to discover history by completing a historical research project. There were several categories of competition, and the topic could be anything they wanted to learn more about, as long as they could relate it to this year’s theme of "Frontiers in History: People Places, Ideas.” Students presented their ideas in front of judges from the school and community.

 

Several students qualified to participate in the regional competition, which took place on Saturday March 25th at Saint Cloud State University. Some even went on to qualify for the state competition, which will take place at the end of April! Regional qualifiers include:
