Schools

History Day Competition at OMCA

Rena Ragimova, Neighbor

Over 200 students are preparing approximately 100 projects in nine Alameda County school districts, two districts in Contra Costa County, and several private schools. Student projects include documentary films, dramatic performances, Websites, papers, and museum exhibits addressing this year's theme, "Debate and Diplomacy: Successes, Failures, Consequences."
The award ceremony will feature a performance by Ricardo Salinas of Culture Clash and include the 2nd annual presentation of the Claudette Colvin award recognizing the best student project focusing on youth challenging injustice. 

About History Day:
The Kenneth E. Behring National History Day Contest makes history come alive for America's youth by engaging them in the discovery of the historic, cultural, and social experiences of the past. Through hands-on experiences and presentations, participants are better able to inform the present and shape the future. National History Day inspires children through exciting competitions and transforms teaching through project-based curriculum and instruction.
