Behind The Iron Curtain (Guest Post by Katya)

This year, the seventh graders (and older) were able to participate in National History Day(NHD).

The topic that all projects had to follow was Exploration, Encounter, and Exchange in history. I chose to talk about how the Soviet Union people felt as they encountered the United States during the cold war. We spent about four months working on this, making sure citations and annotations were correct, the words were spelled right and, most importantly, the information was valid. Here are some pictures from the final presenting day:

I was so excited and happy because of this special moment. Thank you to all who helped me achieve
