N.M. STUDENT PROJECT SELECTED FOR SHOWCASE AT THE SMITHSONIAN NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Lillah Berkson, a 7th grade student at Mesilla Valley Leadership Academy in Las Cruces, will have her National History Day exhibit featured at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History on Wednesday, June 14.
National History Day is a year-long academic program focused on historical research, interpretation and creative expression for sixth to twelfth-grade students. By participating in NHD, students become writers, filmmakers, web designers, playwrights, and artists as they create unique contemporary expressions of history. The experience culminates in a series of contests at the local and affiliate levels and an annual national competition in the nation’s capital in June.
Next week, 2,649 students from 54 NHD affiliates will arrive in College Park, Maryland to compete at the NHD National Contest. These students were mentored by 1,114 teachers.
