BE A JUDGE FOR HISTORY DAY!!!
The Social Studies department of Saint Thomas Academy will sponsor the 12th annual History Day competition at Saint Thomas Academy on the evening of Thursday, February 18, 2010.
This year the theme is Innovation in History: Impact and Change. Students in grades 8 and 11 have been doing extensive research on topics related to this theme and will be presenting their exhibits, 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 18. 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 12 (though earlier is better). E-mail communications are best because I can provide easy and instant updates–my address is dhoverson@cadets.com. You may also call me at (651) 683-1555 and leave the information at voice mailbox #321, or send the information to me through the mail, with your student, or by fax to the school (651) 454-4574.
All judges will receive a confirmation notice and additional information on judging this theme within a few days after I receive your registration. Thank you for helping with this important educational event.
Doug Hoverson, History Day Coordinator
