Congratulations to Junior Kayla White. She earned 2nd place at the Regional History Day competition.  She goes to state at C of I on Saturday, April 15.  

Here's what Kayla says about the project: My project subject is Grace O’Malley, Irish woman pirate and leader. During her lifetime in the 1500s, she and her tribe protected Ireland from British rule. She was a strong, brave woman, knew exactly what she wanted, and was not afraid to go for it. 

I spent all of Thanksgiving break working on the physical project. It took a lot of work, but with help from my dad's handyman expertise, and his power tools, I was able to come up with something that I never thought I could. It's been an amazing experience, and I can't wait for state!
