Following the structure of the National History Day enrichment program, 6th grade Excel students completed an in-depth research project on a topic connected to the theme of "Revolution, Reaction, and Reform." 📚

This week, students presented their projects to judges. Their hard work, thoughtful research, and creativity were on full display! 🤩
