From deep research to thoughtful analysis of historical events, students committed significant time to exploring the past and making meaningful connections to the present. Their projects reflect not only strong academic skills, but also perseverance, creativity, and a genuine passion for learning.
We love seeing the incredible results that come from this level of effort, and we are grateful to our students and teachers for making this experience such a powerful part of the 8th grade year. Well done!
