BE A JUDGE FOR HISTORY DAY!!!
The Social Studies department of Saint Thomas Academy will sponsor the 14th annual History Day competition at Saint Thomas Academy on the evening of Wednesday, February 15, 2012.
This year the theme is Revolution, Reaction, and Reform in History. Students in grades 8 and 11 have been doing extensive research on topics related to this theme and will be presenting their exhibits, web sites, performances and documentaries to their classmates and the public.
We would like to invite parents, faculty, staff, and all members of the Saint Thomas Academy community to serve as judges for this event. About 36 judges are needed. No experience or special knowledge is required–instruction will be provided beforehand. The event will take about three hours of your time, between approximately 6:45 and 9:30 p.m. on the evening of February 15. Past judges have agreed that the judging experience is enjoyable and valuable for judges and students alike.
If you are interested in judging, please provide the information requested below and return it to me at Saint Thomas Academy by Friday, February 10 (though earlier is better).
E-mail communications are best because I can provide easy and instant updates–my address is dhoverson@cadets.com. Please send the following information to volunteer:
-
Your name

Your full address

Your daytime and evening telephone numbers
